roughly- to do all of that - bushings/mounts/ball joints- ALL at the same time to save - Labor $$$$
Lastly- does Thrust arm= lower control arm??? is it same thing??

The 211 chassis has what is called a "thrust arm", and it does the same thing that a "guide rod" does on a 123 chassis. I am not as familiar with a 126 chassis (your 300SD), so I don't know if it has a trust arm, guide rod, or something else. However, the suspension parts for a 126 are also available. As far as the hours involved, many shops charge "book time". A 5 hour job by the book may only take an expert tech only 3 hours, while a DIY guy might take 7 to do the same job. I have no idea how many hours your car will take to rebuild the suspension.
