Looks to me like you are far after the production break.

Rod ends can be reused if they aren't corroded, seized or damaged. Soak them a few times with penetrating oil a few times before the alignment, the tech will appreciate that for sure.

My 93' 300E had non-serviceable ball joints, it was new arms or nothing. Find out before ordering. Honestly new arms is sometimes the way to go as it is a lot less labor/$$$ so the cost is a wash.

If you are doing struts, Bilstein is tough to beat.

Replace the strut mounts, they are cheap and easy to replace.
