Rebuild Front End Suspension on 1985 W123 300CD

Hello everybody,

I have developed very, very heavy vibrations when going over about 40-45 MPH in my 1985 300CD which I purchased about 3 months ago (180k+ miles). Appears to be coming from the driver's side front end. As a total amateur, I am still learning my right hand from my left, and assume that this is one or more worn front end suspension components. I have not jacked anything up yet, but had a quick look underneath and there are definitely some worn out bushings immediately visible.

I have been doing a deep dive on youtube and seen many promising videos on rebuilding a front-end suspension. Rather than replacing the culprit part, I am assuming I'm probably better off replacing everything with high quality parts while I'm already down there, instead of waiting for other components to fail(?).

That said, a lot of the threads I've found are quite old, and I'm wondering if anybody can steer me to kits that would be helpful/ cost effective (if any exist). Has anybody tackled this job recently? Any nuggets of advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!
-RJ
