Rear Anti-roll bar linkage - play in ball joint

[jonnyw]

Further to my previous thread (our 17 year old K11 Micra has just passed another MOT ), there's an additional notice that both the nearside and offside anti-roll bar linkages have slight play in the ball joint.

What should I look/expect to pay to get them both replaced?

I've lost my local mechanic, so just want to have an idea in my head before I start ringing round other garages.

Also, how serious/urgent is this (I'm guessing pretty serious). Is it a case that if it goes whilst cornering, the car could roll?

i would,nt bother jonnyw, they will knock when they are nackered, and not all k11,s have an a/r/b

There is sometimes a slight creaking when turning slowly (on car parks etc).

I suspect however that if they were knackered - the MOT advisory would have said so/failed anyway.

i suspect that many advisories are flagged to make the paperwork look better, and also to bring in extra work
but if you want to change the droplinks, they are only £10/pair on ebay, and labour would be around £30 to £50 i guess
