Front suspension help

Ok guys, I am ordering the parts for the wife's front suspension and I have a few questions. Do I need one or two drag links? I am assuming I need a total of four upper control arm bushings. Do the upper control arms go bad, or is it just the bushings that typically need to be replaced? The front end of this car really creaks and groans and doesn't ride near as smooth as it once did. I am ready to make all of the repairs. This all pertains to the 84 300D.

Mike

One drag link, two tie rod assemblys, four outer upper control arm bushings. The upper ball joints are integral to the upper control arms, as are the inner bushings. So upper control arms do go bad.
