Suspension maintenance is not out of the question for the home mechanic. You can align the suspension to an accuracy that's safe to drive for short distances at low (not highway) speed. All you need is a level, a tap measure, and a little bit of high school math. I have saved quite a bit of money doing this. Edit: Of course, you'll want to drive it to an alignment shop right away.
