    It doesn't take much play in any of the suspension components to make a large noise. Mine was caused by the nut on top of the coilover shock not being tight enough. You've already checked the most notorious suspects, sway bar bushings and links, I suggest a thorough inspection and tightening of all the components. What does the car have for a suspension setup? Coilovers? Adjustable control arms?

    rear control arms, perhaps. What year is your MINI as well as type?

    It's an 05 with regular suspension. I did swap out to adjustable lower control arms.
