Rear Subframe and Sway Bar - MINI Cooper R50 R52 R53

In our 5th DIY RoverFiveThree episode, we move to the rear of the car to remove old aftermarket suspension parts and replace with OEM pieces. The rear subframe is lowered on a transmission jack to remove the sway bar, raised back up, and all bolts re-torqued. The heavier steel rear trailing arm suspension parts are removed, and the R56 generation aluminum replacements are previewed. The red R53 John Cooper Works lowering springs were discussed and some examples shown. Some esoteric undercarriage bits are noted.
