This is a standard front shock absorber designed for the Classic Mini with dry suspension and standard ride height. Supplied complete with upper and lower mounting bushings, it’s ready to bolt on and restore the smooth, controlled ride your Mini was built to deliver.
Front shocks are a critical component of the Mini’s dry suspension system. They help keep the tires firmly in contact with the road, improving stability, predictability, and overall handling. Just as importantly, they absorb road impacts to ensure a comfortable ride for both driver and passenger.
Like all suspension components, shock absorbers wear over time and should be inspected and replaced as needed. Common signs of worn shocks include **bottoming out over bumps**, which creates a sharp, jarring impact that quickly takes the enjoyment out of a Sunday drive. Another frequent symptom is **excessive front-end dive under braking**. When the brakes are applied, the vehicle’s weight naturally wants to continue moving forward; worn shocks are unable to control this motion effectively.
This uncontrolled weight transfer reduces front brake efficiency and places additional strain on the rear brakes, ultimately compromising handling and steering control. Replacing tired shock absorbers restores proper damping, improves braking performance, and helps keep your Mini safe, stable, and enjoyable to drive.
