Right basically you have the anti roll bar drop links with ball joints on either ends with a nut and you have to keep the ball joint from spinning while undoing the nut, so you have to put either a 5mm allen key or T30 torx bit in the end with a 17mm spanner on the nut, keep the socket held while turning the nut
hope this helps

i would have to imagine so, the explanations for drop links vary from tester to tester, at the price they cost i would just change them anyway, i also changed my anti roll bar bushed last month and they only cost me 10 pair from peugeot so they are a cheap change, again a very simple job to do, only need an inverted torx socket and a 18mm spanner to hold the nut above the sub frame

If i can find receipt out might be able to get them changed for free,i presume you get 12 months warranty.If not will go to peugeot and buy from them.

get under the car and push the drop link up if you hear it clicking means there's play in them and need replacing 
i always buy my parts from peugeot then just pay the garage labour to fit them that way you know they will last and your not getting skiffed
