that sound a bit extreme. can't think it'll be the actual bars that need replacing. Maybe the anti roll bar bushes will need replacing as they do wear with age, not familiar with your model so can't be certain.
It 's a part of the car that helps keep the alignment of your car true and ensures minimal roll when cornering etc.
get another quote elsewhere it costs nothing for a second oppinion. main dealers are always more expensive, maybe try a local garage thats not a main dealer, their labours cheaper. if your a bit of a diy man, buy a haynes manual £15 and do it yourself. they're not to difficult if you have a socket set, you,ll need to put your car on blocks and let the front suspension hang free. good luck

The anti roll bars will not need replacing unless the car has been involved in an accident.They are their to steady the roll of the car when cornering.They are attached to the car by rubber bushes and it is these that need replacing.A good DIY man can do this quiteeasily for around say 25pounds.I have encountered the same problem with this model before and on investigation the dealer was simply trying it on.

a pair of hyperlinks (replace the two facets) may be something from around £10 to around £30, looking on what automobile; it extremely is the form of ball-park, besides. they're straightforward for a mechanic to alter on a ramp, nonetheless there could be some swearing over rusted bolts! Did a pair myself final 12 months in an hour, utilising jack, axle stands, hand kit, WD40 and undesirable language using skinned knuckles . . .

take it you mean the roll bar drop links, then about 1 hour labour for the pair plus parts, but certainly less than your quote
