Rear Suspension Strut for Mini Cooper

FCS 345670 is a rear suspension strut for select Mini Cooper applications. It is built around the listed compressed length of 11.54 inches, extended length of 16.38 inches, and 4.84 inches of stroke to match the rear suspension travel requirements for the covered vehicles.

Compatible with 2007 Mini Cooper, rear, and 2008-2013 Mini Cooper, rear, exc. JCW. This FCS strut is a direct-fit suspension component for drivers replacing worn rear damping on the Mini Cooper platform.

Product Details

FCS 345670 is part of the FCS suspension line and is specified for rear installation on the Mini Cooper. The dimensional specs help identify the correct strut for the rear suspension geometry, making it easier to match replacement length and travel to the original application. If you are sourcing a rear strut for a 2007 Mini Cooper or a 2008-2013 Mini Cooper excluding JCW models, this part number provides a fitment-specific option.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

  • Rear suspension noise over bumps
  • Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
  • Uneven rear ride quality
  • Oil leakage from a worn strut
  • Restoring rear suspension response on a Mini Cooper

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year and trim before ordering, especially on 2008-2013 Mini Cooper models where JCW is excluded. Compare the compressed and extended lengths of the existing unit to confirm the replacement matches the suspension layout. Professional installation and a post-repair alignment check are recommended after strut replacement.

Quality Assurance

FCS suspension components are cataloged for specific vehicle applications, and this rear strut is listed with exact dimensional specifications to support accurate replacement selection.
