Currently doing this job. I have a couple of comments. On my 2003 MINI Cooper S there is NO room to get the steering reservoir past the heat shield in the engine compartment. I dropped the subframe down enough to get at everything without removing it completely. Also is there something that the arrow on the new bushing should point toward? Both bushings were torn out and so there is no way to tell how to orient the new bushings. Looking at the picture you have it seems the arrow should be in line with the plane of the control arm maybe? Also it has taken me about 6 hours to disassemble. I am slow and this was the first time I have had the front end apart.

Use the photo in step 6. Align the bushing on your vehicle in about the same place. If you use the factory repair info it states to mark before removing also. Eadch one I have done, it looks like the arrow is parallel witht he subframe.
