I've actually dont everything to the car myself so far, and i like learning new things so im not gunna know everything. So i plan on doing them soon as soon as ai find a compressor. Plus i have the service manuals so they guide you through everything

Dont have any air tools ill see what the manual reccomends. I might just bring it in then and have it done with an aligment right away.
