Fortunately, it happened in the parking lot. Turned the wheel, bang = broken ball joint. It's my understanding that on 94 & 95 e320 control arm is replaced because ball joints and bushings are not replaceable.

Car has 142,000 miles. Flatbed operator used mini jack under broken control arm as replacement wheel. I wonder what else might have been damaged while dragging it onto flatbed?

Ironically, last week I had the car to another shop to check suspension before I bought new tires. They said it needs ball joint, tie rod and (rear) thrust arm.
Should I have the shop R&R any other items while they're doing the fore-mentioned?
Should any of these items be replaced in pairs (right & left) at same time? I had car towed to a repair garage that says they can fix it, but I doubt they do many, if any MBs.

Any suggestions that I can pass on to them are appreciated.
