£90 is that for one side or both,
id presume theyl be changing the top link most probs theyl use qh ones if so so there around £18 each.
the rest will be labour charge,

if its just one side theyve quoted for ithink theyd be having a Giraffe :?

who ever told you you needed the stabilizer links chaging you need to ask them which ones.

there are 2 on the back. as in the piccys.

plastic one is the lower droplink and sits vertical
metal one is the upper toplink and sits horizontal

both are cheap and should not cost £54 a side :shock:
