Anti roll bar unit replacement?

After a heavy clunking sound whilst driving the garage tells me i need new anti roll units on my Toyota Yaris as the rubber washers are missing.They have quoted 拢80 for the pair, is this reasonable?|||WTF?? Pardon my French! The Yaris has only been around for 5 minutes, how the Hull have you ruined ARB bushes? Driven the Paris - Dakkar Rally lately? Anti-roll "units"? 99.9% of cars have Anti-Roll Bars fitted, usually front and rear. They are wrapped in rubber "bushes" where they secure to the car, to stop grinding of metal on metal, and the bushes CAN become tired and crumble, after years of heat and cold, oil and vibration.


The bushes should be less than a tenner for all that you need. Just remove the bar with a socket wrench, fit the new bushes, and replace. Easily done in an hour on 99.9% of cars (I have done it in under 20 minutes on some!). Garages rely on people fearing the worst, and not knowing how to do the VERY SIMPLEST of things to a car. Who do you call to put a new plug on your toaster? If you can do that, you can do this!|||if its just the rubber washers that r getting replaced i think the price is too high.....but if they r replacing the bar and links too then i think its good price|||no, bushes are about 拢2 each
