Re: Fitting drivers side anti roll bar
If it's the bottom ball joint you mean then you need the special tool to remove it as it unscrews. They can be very tight and hard to remove in some cases. The anti-roll bar should be pretty straightforward. Do you mean the link between the anti-roll bar and the strut?

Re: Fitting drivers side anti roll bar
The failure as quoted doesn't make any sense - an anti-roll bar by definition connects the front or rear suspension from one side to the other. The only thing that would make sense is wear in whatever connects the bar to the suspension on that side.

Re: Fitting drivers side anti roll bar
it may well be the anti roll bar bush... a rubber thing that is clamped round the roll bar and to the chassis.. change both sides if it is that part.. shouldnt be a bad job..
what car is it though?

I would whip back to the MoT station and ask them to actually point at the bit it failed on, you'll know for sure then.
