Replacing a o/s/f anti-rollbar link - estimated cost?

[Addicted]

A friend needs his doing, garage have quoted him £170 - does that seem reasonable? Did a quick search and didnt find any answer!

​I have no idea personally.

1*2? Inner or outer?

Either way sounds very dear!

Oops forgot, 1.2, will check if it's inner or outer now.

Do you know what the prices would be for either?

edit: he's unsure and the service department are now closed - so he can't check. Do you know roughly what the inner or outer would cost?

Tbh if it was all 4 the price wouldn't be too far out (using genuine parts)

I expect it's an outer, of which it's about 5 minutes to fit, and about £25 for parts.

​Brill, cheers Dan

£25 for an outer ARB bush/link? Where the hell are you buying from! GSF = less than £10 each

I've not priced any up tbh Fred. But I wouldn't be surprised if genuine was around that.

Yeah from a Renault Stealer - he only asked me as he knows I've got a Clio - he just so happens to have his MOT tomorrow and found out through a few checkup thing, either way he's going to get shafted.

No more than 40 quid a side on almost any car with normal set up.

PS i work in a garage

Hi guys, thanks for replies!

Ended up costing £18, bit lower than the Renault garage estimate of £170+

Well done matey.

Glad they didnt get to rip you off!
