droplinks and bushes

Had car serviced today by specialist garage. They said it was one of the cleanest examples they had ever seen Cool . Additionally they gave me a full written report on car and good news nothing major.

They did point out that I have slight play in rear droplinks and that there was also slight play in front antiroll bar bushings. Also that one of my front tyres was coming up on wear limit. I checked all tyres and theres still plenty of thread as there should be having only covered 9000 miles since new. However the front passenger tyre seems to be wearing faster than the rest. Im wondering should I get droplinks bushes replaced as this could be causing premature tyre wear? If not would it be okay to just buy one new front tyre or go for 2 ? I was hoping the tyres would last me another 10k at least as i want to change to 20's then. Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Which wheel takes the most load going round roundabouts... Rotate the tyres.... Job done.

Rear drop links ... No big deal ... Likewise the front roll bar bushings. Far more important to monitor the main suspension arm bushes. V8 or else ...
