nr.side upper anti-rollbar linkage has slight play in a pin/bush
offside front lower anti-roll bar linkage has slight play in a pin/bush
quoted £120 for the job, is this reasonable does any one think, cos i have no ideas,
and is it an urgent job?
thanks for any advice

Hi Mick,
Sounds like the link rods, not an urgent job but if they start clunking over bumps it can get really annoying!! 
fair enough price but fitting them yourself if fairly straightforward and will save you £100

You should be able to pick a new pair up for under £30

I found a thin headed 17m combi spanner a useful tool for this job.
sometimes they come off easily and it takes no time, sometimes they will be seized and require an angle grinder!

Thats fancy, I dont think i needed anything like that, I'm pretty sure I just use two 17mm combis and keep an angle grinder handy in case of problems
