What would you reccomend?

my Stilo has failed its MOT today and the garage told me the greatest joke Ive ever heard

"your looking at about £360 including labour mate and if you need the 14mm bushes instead of the 12mm it could cost you more"

Ive found a shop on ebay, (attached a photo of it) not sure if it would be worth buying these parts or paying roughly £100 for the lower wishbones from the aforementioned shop, Shop for parts. The final option I have is to pay about £56 including delivery for breakers parts. Would appreciate any feedback or opinions.

p.s. The part on ebay says it will fit my 2002 Fiat Stilo Dynamic 1.6 3door, But Im not sure if I would need the 12mm bushes or the 14mm?

You don't actually say what your car actually failed the MOT on ?

Track / lower arms, roll bar links?

Also failure on one or both sides of the car.

Good point its failed on the two lower arms, bushes are worn to the point where there is a fair bit of play in them. yep, both sides unfortunately. Its all good now, found someone who managed to fit them both for half the price the aforementioned garage quoted . Turns out they are 12mm. Will make sure I dont forget it in case of any future mishaps
