Hi welcome to the site.

Front anti roll bar drop link, regular fail item, 1/2 hour job, 2 spanners and an allen key, can be done as it is on the ground.
Play in the wheel bearings can be done by adjustment, there are several downloads on these.
Wishbone bushes, I've never done one but several people have done them, so not too bad if you have some basic tools.

Best regards,
rustic

Edit: you will save your joining fee several times over on your first self repair.

Also where else could you get help at 8pm in the evening.
