Just replaced mine agin. Decided to go with the Mevotech part. It looks like the area that slips on the OEM unit is better built. We'll see, but for $65 it was worth a try.

Did you both go with the Mevotech part? Any update on how it's holding up? I don't mind spending the money for the OEM but if the cheaper one seems to be holding up as well or better than what is a known weak oem part I may give that one a try first. Is that mevotech part # compatible with a 2014 E63 AMG S? Some of the sites seemed to say it wasn't compatible, but was compatible with the non- S and I don't think there are any suspension differences. Also curious if the driver's side cross strut being bad could lead to inner tire wear on both front tires? Have really bad wear but they are 20" wheels, Going back to stock 19's but don't want to trash another set of front tires.
Thanks

Arm update 12k later

I used dealer arm 2x and it was change before I got car with a dealer arm so 3x. The 4th time I was unable to get the dealer arm and got a Rockauto Mevotech. Its still on the car perfectly centered 12k later.
Now I have prepared the 2 older dealer arm by welding the bushing when the rock auto arm ballpoint goes bad.
If you go with a new dealer arm I woukd suggest tac weld each side 4 spots...
