If you go aftermarket (e.g. FCP) try to find out where the parts are made.
Brand names (e.g. LEMFÖRDER, Mahle, etc.) don't seem to mean much anymore.
But parts made in EU should be OK.

Subject: [MBZ] Source for 124 front lower control arms?

Driving the $500 '94 wagon this morning, I realized that the front end is
making too many clunks, I'm guessing that at 195k miles the front suspension
is ripe for overhaul.  Front struts are shot, car floats like big GM iron
from the 70s and 80s.

Are any of the aftermarket worth a look, or should I bite the bullet and get
them from a dealership?

Dealership only, and they’re not that much more expensive. Better hurry, 
though, as some have recently become NLA.
