Nah you can still drive around with messed up suspension components it's just not safe! I actually used to have a slammed Honda cut springs, bent tie rods and best of all a broken steering rack all because the guy that owned it before me wanted to slam the car, it was slammed but drove like shit. I took it in for an alignment and the dude lifted my car into the air then proceeded to freak out on me because it was such a pile of crap and said the steering rack was toast and that he wouldn't drive the car around in the condition it was. Didn't align my car and charged me 10 bucks for wasting his time LOL. A few days later I got rear ended by a box truck on the I15 in San Diego and the car was totaled...

Like other members are saying take your car to get a second opinion.
