Hi, last years MOT identified slight play in both lower front ball joints and rear upper ball joints. due for the next test in 3 weeks so just in case, any advice on costs of repair if it's a fail and any suggestions on southern/south coast specialists/independents who could do a good job at a fair price. Thanks

There's someone selling genuine toyota ball joints on ebay if it helps. Dunno if they are much cheaper than from the dealer though as I've never priced them.
