Exclamation need help with suspension lower control arms

I have a 2000 Clk 320 135k on it and (well i didn't the previous owner) bent frame on left side causing minor damage to the driver side control arm. It has been pushed back an inch on the driver side nothing snapped all misaligned now. I am wondering if a 02 clk 55 driver side lower control arm be placed on the car with out a problem or do I have to have both?

Are you sourcing the arms or need help with it?

i have source, a wrecked 02 clk 55. i am just wondering if the part will work with the other side unchanged. i can find a good used one for around 75-100. but if i dont have to buy one then the better.

By the way, I am going to get the frame pulled. The bushing in the driver's side lower control arm is messed up and the stabilizer bar bracket is bent up so the bar is rubbing against the oil pan at the front corner. I can clear see it has been driven like that for some time. I need to now if the arm off of a clk 55 will switch right out without having to replace anything else. the used one i found is for the normal clk 320. this for cross referencing. but if you know of a source cheaper than that by all means tell me.
