In what order should I do these jobs?

[jriewer]

I’ve got major work to do on the front end of my ’87 420SEL.
What’s the best order to remove and replace these parts considering Im doing this all at the same time. If all goes well I figure the car will be of the jacks stands by Thanksgiving..


Replace upper control arms
Replace guide rods
Replace lower ball joints
Replace idler arm bushing
Replace tie rods
Replace steering damper
Replace front shocks

Thanks
