Looking to rebuild the suspension on my w210 e320 cdi.
Anyone know of decent aftermarket suspension parts, currently leaning towards lemforder for stuff like drop links and control arms, and possibly febi bilstein for bushes.
Second question, I'm not sure if I should go ahead and replace stuff like the front lower control arms, or just do the bushes. Reason I'm asking this is because I've heard horror stories of control arms snapping on people (mine don't look corroded so maybe i should sand back any surface rust and re paint?). I don't have any intetions of selling the car anytime soon as I've just had all the rust from the chassis grinded back to bare metal and metal welded in where needed, followed by a full underseal (obviously). So maybe I should just put new control arms in for peace of mind?
