Bongo MOT failure

Hi
Bongo has failed MOT on something that sounds simple.
Quote! Near & Offside anti roll bar joint dust cover excessively worn allowing dirt ingress?
Can I buy these at the Bongo shop? I gather I will have to drop the link to fit them so should I renew these also while I am on?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
just put two new front antiroll droplinks on last month before my MOT. The covers are an integral part of the rose joint on the droplink, so if they have gone, it will be new links. also fitted new bushes to the antiroll bar mounting. did make it feel a bit better.
