I just replaced all 4 arms on each rear wheel. MB does not seel just the bushings. They sell them with the arm. Price is not all that much diff from getting just the bushings. One was $22, one was $34, one $47 and the tie rod was $63. If you do replace the tie rod you need to have a tool to pus out the tie rod from the wheel carrier side. I tried using C clamps, pry bars ... ended up buying the tool from MB for $90. If you want to buy it from me, let me know. Maybe we can make a deal. The Tie rod comes with the eccentric bolt if you get it from MB.

It's not a hard job as long as you can free the nuts. I got 7 out of 8 done my self. Had to bring it in to have one of them cut loose. I could not break it for all the tea in China.

You will probably want to have it alligned since the configuration will be different with the new bushings.
