I have seen several comments in catalogs or on other forums regarding the need to periodically replace rear "thrust" arms and/or "upper control arms" on w124 rear suspensions. Some sources say every 9-10 years, others quote every 60,000 miles. Is this necessary, recommended, or just attempts to sell parts? How do I know when it is needed? Thanks for any help.
