Stock Problems/IssuesDiscussions related to warranty related issues and repairs, or other problems with the OEM parts and software for MINI Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S(R56), and Cabrio (R57).
Well on the way to work yesterday, as soon as I got on the highway I hit a little bump. Nothing crazy but all of the sudden I felt my drive rear sag and I heard rubbing. I pulled over and this had happened. Now the fun is getting that bolt out. It wasnt loose I had it torqued to 120ftlbs and the bolt is still sticking out the other side like they do.
Dang, sorry to hear this. I have seen that happen on lowered cars on bad roads here in ohio/MI. Get a tap kit and drill it a little to get the tap out set. Then slowly pull it out. I had this happen on the main shock/strut body bolt on my front suspension. It was rusted really bad in place w/ like 250K miles on it. Dang salt and bad road kill the MINI parts.
