Welcome to FTO-Ireland! Congrats on your new motor!

Sounds like it could well be the same things alright, the droplinks & anti-roll bar bushes. Not at all unusual to need to replace those.

Droplinks are easy to replace, the front anti-roll bar bushes are a bit more work, you need to drop the suspension subframe to get at them.
