Replace Tie Rods on our 2003 MINI Cooper S ~ R53

Since this car could not get aligned correctly, I had to change one of the tie rods. Why do one when they both have the same duty cycle. I bought the set and ordered another for our Orange MINI from:

Thanks for the video. My ‘02 Cooper S does not need this done (yet!) but I know I can use this video when it comes time. You have a very beautiful granddaughter and I’m sure she will appreciate all the work you’re doing saving this car for her.

Thanks very much. I did go back to get the alignment done again. It took the tech two tries to get it perfect. Thanks for watching.

Hi Jimmy! You are the best! I want to get my car to you and you can do a video!

[@Mini-Driver]

We will get together to see what we can work out. We have to get you back on the road having fun.

I always put the removed wheel under the car the same way, and my grandfather did the same. Here we can say that this rule was written in someone’s blood and must be followed.

Yup, always be safe! I've seen people just using a jack. Not me. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for video brother Jimmy, I’m doing my inner and outer tie rods on my 2005 mini cooper s this weekend. Same color as yours,at 95 thousand miles and everything is all original so it’s time 😅

You have the best color, imho. I have one that I just took the original shocks/struts off of yesterday. 290,800 miles. Keep them on the road and I'm glad to have helped. Thanks for watching.
