STEADY ROD UPPER UP TO 1990 (plus all 998cc 1990 ON)

The original mini upper engine steady that always needs the bushes replacing (they are CRC5329) and the longer of the 2 securing bolts, if it looks worse for wear or broken, is BH605151. From 1990 on when the 1275 engines were fitted the 21A1817 bar from the old Austin Morris 1100/1300 range was fitted which, along with different engine mount positions on the subframe, pushed the engine half an inch further forward. From 1996 cars were fitted with a one piece bush on the engine which is interchangeable with the 2 part one. See KKF101320.
