Engine mountings bushes carrier arms etc

Hi please can someone help me I have a a 2005 Pajero DID Glx. I have taken the vehicle to an ecar as I have a few nocking noises coming from the "suspension" could someone please give me advice on this and also estimated costing. I have just spent 14000 on a major service some electrical problems as well as some brake issues. this is the report from ecar. Please any advise on this would be highly appreciated.
"The various knocking noises (front and rear) are also all related to age and wear and tear. The rear differential carrier arms and bushes are all worn and cracked, these all need to be replaced, however the agent parts are very expensive, so we would need to strip all of these parts out for samples to try and source them as aftermarket spares, this is an extremely labour intensive job as the entire rear diff, prop-shaft and rear drive shafts, rear springs and the shocks all need to be removed in order to access these parts.
The front upper control arms we can see were replaced fairly recently and the shock absorbers all round are still OK (no leaks). However the front lower control arms and the stabilizer links with the torsion bar rubbers and all the mountings (engine & gearbox) must all be replaced, again we will need to strip all this out before we can quote."
Please can you advise what estimated costing we are talking about and also any aftermarket spares costing.
I do want to have this sorted out but I don't want to spend a fortune on this.
Any advise would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
