Offside Front Play in steering rack inner joint(s) ()

So, 3 bushes and something on the steering rack. Seems very little for £200 of labour, but I understand fitting them involves quite a bit of work (or so they tell me...) I showed them the parts, they looked to see where to fit them...

Co-incidentally, they had a small part delivered to the garage during their inspection, costing £53. Garage owner was not happy at the price, immediately 'phoned the supplier for a discount, and then sourced something 'similar' for £10...so I'm pretty sure the parts I have sourced are as fit for the job as anything they might have bought for me!
Well if it's the front track control arm rear bushes, then it's around an hour for both sides, the track rod replacement will require the car to be tracked up after fitting, so not a bad price in all honesty.

As to the parts, i wouldn't fit the ones you supplied me with, irrespective of where they were bought, and in the case of two of the particular parts you have purchased, especially so
