I have a rattling noise on my '02 fiesta coming from the front of the car on the passenger side. The garage told me the bushes need replacing but its a very expensive job as the battery amongst other things needs to come out so you can replace them. Is that right?

There are bushes on the inner lower control arm, radius rod and sway bar, all are done under the car with only the wheel and splash pan to be removed to access them, i would go get a second opinion on this job.
