Hey folks,

Took the Mini for wheel alignment today, and since it's stock they were unable to sort out the slightly-excessive rear camber. Bushings are worn, and no adjustment is possible to fix it.

I'm looking for replacement control arms, and found adjustable ones for not-too-much-money, for the lower arms. Then I saw another website say that their control arms could be used for upper or lower...

So, what does the community recommend to replace all 4 control arms without breaking the bank? The car is never raced, so I don't need to go nuts with spendy parts...

Thanks in advance,
JC

 

HSport for the lower rear arms, stock arms should be fine for the rear upper arms. Front trailing arm brackets can be replaced with stock, and add powerflex bushing inserts. (Not the full replacement bushing) After that, the rear should be pretty tight, and able to get any alignment numbers you want.

For the front, get powerflex control arm rear bushings.

 

I have MMS lower control arms and their rear eccentric lockout. As a general rule of thumb, the lowers control camber and the uppers control toe. I wanted to dial out the extreme rear camber like you and just did the lowers. Now I have -1 degree on each side lowered 2" from stock on coilovers.
