I would do this in phases. First phase, front control arm, shock, shock mount. On the steering parts, I would probably do the tie rod end while there, but would otherwise inspect first and only replace if clearly bad.
After that I would drive awhile and inspect, replacing items only if they are clearly toast. 160K is not a lot of miles for those MB's, and money spent on 28 year old Michigan drivers (vs. garaged classics) should be targeted judiciously.
