Mini shock absorber fork

The spare part that keeps your Mini Mitoos suspension in perfect condition

The Mini Shock Absorber Fork (reference CXM169) from Mitoos is the specific replacement set to keep the suspension system of Mini series cars operational. It includes 4 shock absorber ball joints plus axle, everything needed for a complete replacement in cars aimed at rally or raid.

Function and performance

This set serves a critical function in the car's dynamic behaviour: absorbing track irregularities and maintaining constant tyre contact with the track. A worn or broken ball joint can result in loss of traction, instability in corners, and unpredictable performance.

• Ball diameter: 5 mm.
• Axle diameter: 2 mm.
• Included units: 4 ball joints + axle.

Self-lubricating material: less friction, more durability

The ball joints are made from a self-lubricating material that reduces mechanical friction between moving parts without the need for additional maintenance. This translates to smoother movement, less progressive wear, and a flexibility that prevents breakage under impacts or demanding working angles. Especially useful in rally or raid competitions, where the suspension operates continuously and under more aggressive conditions than on a conventional track.

Compatibility and installation

This spare part is specifically designed for the Mitoos Mini series models. Before placing your order, verify that your car belongs to this series to ensure that the dimensions are correct. Installation is straightforward, replacing the worn or broken original ball joints with the new ones from the set.

Common mistakes

• Attempting to reuse the original axle with new ball joints when the axle is already deformed: it is advisable to replace the complete set to ensure correct alignment.
• Forcing the axle during installation beyond the natural travel of the ball joint, which can cause micro-cracks in the material.
• Using this spare part on models from other Mitoos series without first verifying that the measurements match.
