Today my car failed it's MOT :(
It failed due to...
001 Nearside Front Anti-Roll Bar Linkage has excessive play in a ball joint
002 Offside Front Anti-Roll Bar Linkage has excessive play in a ball joint
Does this mean I need to replace the entire link bar?
I only have a trolly jack, will this be enough to allow access to whatever needs worked on?

or an decent set of molegrips usually holds the ball joint if a spanner doesent, thats when you go to loosen the nut. around an hours work to do both sides.
