I am in the process of refreshing my front suspension on my 2006 C55 with 177k on the clock. So far I have purchased the follow from FCP

Front Upper Control Arms
Front Lower Control Arms
Front Strut Mount/Bearing Kit
Front Sway Bar Endlinks
Front Outer Tie Rod Ends

My rationale for replacing these is that I know some of the control arm bushings are cracked, most ball joints are tired, and the end links are both torn. The shocks seem to rebound normally and when I replaced the rears they were fine anyways but I went ahead with the replacement because they were cheap.

Anything else I should do while I'm in there? Perhaps sway bar bushings? Also, can I re-use the bolts for the control arms?

Thanks in advance, Casey

Motor mounts would be good to change I did mine when I replaced my front end

If you do motor mounts replace the trans mount too.

Is it easier to replace the motor mounts with the suspension components out of the way? I watched Alex @ legistreetcars do it with the car on a lift so its hard to tell.

Yep transmission as well
