Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented bearing operates within the rear backrest, responsible for its proper guidance and support during adjustment. Its location in the rear part of the vehicle makes this element significant for:

• backrest stability during daily use,
• passenger comfort in the rear seat,
• proper operation of the seat folding and unfolding mechanism,
• maintaining factory geometry and upholstery fitment.

Thanks to the use of an original design dedicated to the Mini Clubman R55, the bearing works with existing mounting points and adjustment mechanisms without the need for modifications or adaptations.

Construction and fitment for Mini Clubman R55

The seat backrest bearing has been designed as part of the Mini seat system, maintaining factory dimensional tolerances. This means that it:

• fits the mounting points provided by the manufacturer in the rear interior,
• is compatible with the original backrest frame and adjustment mechanism,
• maintains proper connection rigidity while preserving the smoothness of the backrest movement.

Such fitment allows for maintaining the structural consistency of the seats and reduces the risk of unwanted play or rattling while driving.

Component condition and service application

The offered bearing comes from the Other seat parts group and is a used item, making it an attractive service alternative for drivers looking for a cost-effective solution while maintaining original specifications. This type of component is particularly useful in situations where:

• the original bearing has suffered operational wear,
• the backrest mechanism has been damaged as a result of overloading or a collision,
• it is necessary to complete a missing element after a previous interior repair.

Using an original part from dismantling allows for maintaining technical consistency with other seat elements and avoiding problems with fitting replacements of uncertain parameters.

Benefits of installing an original backrest bearing

Replacing a worn element with a properly selected seat backrest bearing in a Mini Clubman R55 brings a number of practical benefits:

• Restoration of proper backrest operation – reduction of play, improvement of movement smoothness and stability after locking.
• Better passenger comfort – the backrest maintains the set angle, does not sag, and does not skip while driving.
• Reduction of unwanted noises – a properly selected bearing reduces the risk of knocking and squeaking in the rear part of the interior.
• Preservation of the original seat construction – no need for frame or upholstery modifications.
