How much should I be paying?

After this years MoT, which she scraped through my 2010 TdV8, needs the following doing:
To supply and fit a pair of rear track control arms
To suply and fit a pair of front lower suspension arms
To supply and fit near side steering rack joint.

I have had a quote from the garage that carried out the MoT and at just under £2k feels a bit expensive, especially the mark up on parts. I have no issue with 6 hours Labour, but I don’t know any different.

What should I reasonably expect to pay for this work doing? 2010 HSE TdV8 in Stornoway Grey.

That is a bit steep. I'd expect more around £13-1400 inc alignment

Update:
I am getting it done, including the rear knuckles for £1400.
Bad news is it also needs a front suspension airbag (£600), a new coolant tank (which I knew about and have one to fit when I get time) and a complete set of wheel nuts, which the tyr en place told me last week when I got new tyres on it (£85) 2010 HSE TdV8 in Stornoway Grey.

I suggest you get your spanners out and do it yourself ....about £300 for parts /
If you are not able to do it then you should not be driving a RR or you have a big wallet,
I just bought two rear air bags for £ 230 ....fitting is free if you DIY,

Thanks watched a you tube video and it does seem simple enough to do, now for some follow up questions:

1. Which part do I buy? They seem to range from £345 + VAT for BWI to £150 for Dunlop?
2. What équipement do I need? What spec Jack and how do I safely support it whilst working on it? I’m assuming ankle stands of some description.
3. I see I need a long spanner.

Need to work out whether it will be cheaper to buy the parts and extra kit, then I have the kit for next time, or pay someone to do it that has the kit. 2010 HSE TdV8 in Stornoway Grey.
