MOT Fail on drop link

"anti-roll bar linkage has excessive play in a pin/bush nearside rear upper"
is there 2 per side or am i finally losing the plot?
thanks

Only 1 drop link per side, but each drop link has 2 ends. An upper end and a lower end. I suspect the upper end (bit attached to the anti-roll bar) has play on the nearside.

If you're replacing one then I would recommend changing both for uprated items and personally I would go for some heavy duty mounts and a better ARB if they are all still standard.

You only need to go uprated if your changing the roll bar, do both there not expensive and an easy job DIY
