I am going to assume the last owner ran over something causing a rather large dent in the driver side rear control arm. Nothing seems to be effected but anyone who has seen these control arms you know its not a solid peice. The gap that runs from one end of the arm to the other is nearly closed by this indention. BAH!

Is there an individual here who might have replaced theirs with aftermarket that might be able to sell me one? Or know where I can pick one up?

04 MCS R53 if it needs to be known.

 

If you are talking about the OEM arm, your lucky it's not snapped in half They have a tendency to break in half, get yourself some new aftermarkets quick These seem to be some of the latest and greatest:

 

Yea I can not belive its still holding on. An aftermarket set would be nice but I have no other supporting mods or need to adjust my rear camber.

 

The OE arm is designed to be a sacrificial part. It bends/breaks so other more expensive bits don't. Not that there's anything wrong with aftermarket arms - especially when you want or need to adjust the suspension.

 

I have a set of OEM arms. Sent me a PM and we'll work out the details.

 

Thing is, I bet Mini wants more for the OEM's than what you can get aftermarket

 

not really the OEM arms are cheaper in price then any aftermarket ones. MINI does seem to have priced them right.
