We have an aftermarket OE supplier local to us and we have been installing Lemfordor tie rod assemblies for awhile now. They are OE aftermarket assemblies, same in near every way except they shave part numbers off.

Yes, the Lemforder is a great OEM supplier tie rod replacement. Can view all of them here along with other suggestions as well. We also have a great DIY here for the replacement.

Great DIY and links here , the Febi and Lemfoder ones I have used in the past with no issues.

While you are replacing them I would do it in pairs and also have the MINI aligned right after replacement. Run some anti - seize on the threads and it will make it easier to adjust and align for the alignment shop.

Just installed these on my 03 cooper s. If you have amazon prime, free 2-day shipping.

Overnighted them for $11. Totally worth it to get them in time for the job.
