All out Lower control arm search...........

Hey guys just replaced my strut with the arnott on driver side and everything is fine. Now my mechanic said my lower control arm need replacing also. He said eventually it will fail completly and that would be bad. Ok I looked at the maintenence record from prev owner and I found out right strutt was replaced at 109k miles and right control arm at 121k. Now my question is should I replace the two uppers control arms also or just wait until it start showing failure.

Also anyone know any place that have the lower control arm. So far I seen them on myMercedes parts but ather places i seen except one shows one piece in stead of the one mymercedes shows. I brought my brake pads from there earlier this year. mymercedes.com shows the diagram which is great and so far price seem ok.the want $ 510 Is it one piece or two and you assemble it?????? Anyway it is driverside lower control arm s500 4 matic 2003. Thanks guys!!!!!!

4matic cars only have 1 lower control arm.

$510 is about right.
