1995 E300D Lower Control arms

[freesoul]

This car at 225K miles has developed a rather annoying squeeking both at low speed turning and high speed on roads that get the suspension flexing side to side, I got under it yesterday and it seems to be the left side LCA bushings- they are torn and when I move the front end it sounds like thats where the noise comes from.

I did some reading, apparently its more cost effective to get new Lemforder LCA and use a special spring compressor. Anything else I should do while I am doing this besides the sway bar bushings? The ball joints are good, just had it inspected a month ago. Plan on doing both sides.
