    If you have worn or loose suspension parts they will need to be replaced first, then you will be able to align the vehicle properly. Aligning a vehicle that has loose parts (tie rod, control arm, balljoints) is essentially useless, as the alignment angles (toe, camber, caster) will freely move in and out of specification. So, fix the suspension, then get the alignment.

    Definitely check all of your suspension moving parts and those with bushings. Otherwise your throwing money away. Loose/worn parts can be aligned but still lead to problems like uneven tire wear or pulling to one side even after alignment, it may not be what you want to hear or what your wallet wants to hear but in the long run, it what's best.
