that's why i said depends on what parts they use.
cheapest parts on ebay: GBP 23 for wishbone and GBP 15 for wheel bearing.
good parts: around 120 for wishbone and 70 for the rear hubs

When the garage near me suspected my bearing had gone (it hadnt thank god) they quoted me around £150ish just for that so ~£200 seems correct.
I always get a quote first. Saves any nasty shocks
