if thyey are talking about the upper and lower control arm inn front and rear bushes, they are steel case press in bush from factory, they replacement is nolothane replacement. the actual bush kit is not that expensive, but upper and lower control arms have to be completely removed from the vehicle and pressed out, which is a PITA. each side will prolly take around 1.5 to 2h. if on top then go the outer ball joints (not sure on their price), they again need to pressed out and pressedback in.

now having said all of that, for those bushes to flog out takes a while (a long while), even when movement is detected, they will not fall out, but tyre wear will increase significantly, and may cause front end noises. (again wear, persishing and splitting of bushes should be classified correctly. minor wear does not really warrant immediate replacement, perishing also does not warrant imediate replacement, however when bushes are splitting and you have major movement within the seats, replacement is def warranted.

steering gear: "slight movement" < wtf is moving?is it internal freeplay? rack end freeplay?tie rod end free play? tie rods and rack ends can be replaced in the car, if the rack is not internally leaking anyway (then a replacement is warranted). the steering rack itself can be adjusted as well to compensate for internal freeplay (not very commonly done these days, i did it to my old steering rack on the bommadore to get a few extra miles out of it).

ignore the bump stops until it comes to RWC or you need/want to do shocks (ie shorters ones for lowered suspension or u drive a boat).

shocks: "soft" ... mhm ok are they leaking too?

front swaybar: "d & link bushes worn" < ignore unless excessive freeplay is noted, front end noises are noted or bushes are splitting and falling out

tyres wear on inner edge, a wheel alignment s probably not the worst of all ideas.


IMO, they have given you a quote to get ur car back to perfect, however the question u should ask is, which is neccessary to be done, because it is dangerous.
so a better classification of worn and movement would be nice

now that is my 2c, at work we classify suspension wear quite accurately and make recommendatiosn on which components that need replacing and not just do all
