MOT advisories

[2ddesign]

Hi some advise please........ SC passed it's MOT with both front bottom ball joint dust covers leaking!
Also the front wheel bearings worn, giving some movement on the wheel!
What sort of price am I looking at to get it fixed please?

Ball joints are handed left and right , so 2 x them and 2 x wheel bearing and at a guess 3-4 hours labour .
if it was me I would replace the lower ball joints but leave the wheel bearing for now , they could go in for a few more years with slight play in them .
