Parts for W123 front end rebuild?

Hello, all

I know I saw a post about this sometime in the past from someone else, but I can't find it with the search function.

Basically, I'm trying to compile a list of parts needed for a front end rebuild. I got my 240D on the road two years ago this month, and since that time, there's been a bit of uneasiness, vagueness of feel, and a slight clunk in the front end. A few weeks back, it suddenly got a lot worse to the point that I didn't feel safe driving it, so I parked it in the garage.

A little background - the car was a three year project, from early 2012 through late 2015. I did almost everything on the car. Suspension-wise, I mostly ignored the front end, thinking it was in better shape than it actually was. I did replace the rear trailing arm bushings and subframe mounts, as well as shock absorbers on all four corners. I also freshened up the steering (tie rods, drag link, steering damper, idler arm bushings).

I finally got the car off the ground and checked it out yesterday. I'm pretty sure I need ball joints and most likely lower and upper control arm bushings. Is there anything else I should look at?

I'm also planning on replacing the motor mounts while I'm in there.
