   Offside front lower suspension arm has excessive play in ball joint **Dangerous**
   Offside anti roll bar linkage has excessive play in ball joint
   Offside front lower suspension arm severely distorted
   Nearside and Offside brake pipe excessivly corroded
   Nearside inner rear (to front main) brake pipe excessivly corroded
   Front brake discs excessivly pitted
   
   How much to get all these fixed?

   a specialist? .... take it you took it to somwhere like mr tyre or kwikfit tht specialise in tyres and exhuasts and that cause am sure most service and repair garages would do most of that for you... not sure on how much it would all tot up too ... can't see it been cheap though

   should be nowhere near £500!! £140 ish labour, if you source the parts then its just the cost of these on top
