Front end alignment is crucial if you dont want odd tire wear. I didnt align an S-10 I dropped and the outside of my tires wore down cause the front end wasnt aligned. Trust me paying$40 to have it done is worth not paying for brand new tires. PLus you drive alot straighter if thats a word.

As for the spring compressors a friend of mine was too lazy to go to Autozone so he took a chain and a padlock and wrapped the chain in the spring and put the padlock on it and the spring let out and he threw it away padlocked. DO NOT DO THIS HE WAS A MORON

Canadian tire has a loan a tool program. you can rent the tool and do it yourself.

Thanks for clearing up the front end alignment thing. I know when O was done with my beretta it was so far off it was scary and that was lining up all the marks again and everything...
