Lightbulb 92 500sel W140 - DIY - front end bushings

My 92 500SEL has all the typical front end problems: Shimmy at 60mph, very loose to drive, tires wear out, slight wobble etc...
So I decided to order (of course from your fabulous part shop) front end bushings, wheel bearings, eng mounts, damper, tie rod ends, lwr control arm bushings,and steering rod. My hopes is that this will fix everything and make te car a bit stiffer.
So my question: Is there any special tools (I have a fork to remove the tie rods) to complete this work?

Any advice you have for me on this. If it helps, I have done this on a 300E before; the only thing I remember is that the control arm bushings had to be pressed out.

Many thanks.
Joel
