Default Advice on anti roll bar links

Looking for some advice about anti roll bar links on a 2004 Impreza GX. (see photo). I can hear a knocking rear left passenger side at low speed over bumpy roads, took it to a local garage who told me I need to spend over £300. 2 anti roll bar links at £91.26, a new shock at £120 and £100 labour. I'm a little confused about the anti roll bar links as my car doesn't appear to have them looking at the photo attached. Perhaps someone could tell me do they mean bushes not links?

Whereabouts in Wales are you?

There are a few very trusted garages in Wales. I'm sure one of our Welsh friends will be able to point you in the right direction.

In the meantime don't let that place anywhere near your car!!!

In which case the Welsh guys down that way take their cars to The three arches in Llanishen.

The guy did comment there was no anti roll bar and pointed to the rubber bushes saying they were worn. He then gave me a quote for anti roll bar links. Is it possible he meant to say bushes maybe these are classed as links?
