Are you strickly talking about suspension? If so, not too much is really going to "break," rather everything will get sloppy over time. I took my car to a local alignment shop and asked them to check it out. they charged me like 20 bucks. I had 3 out fo the 4 tie rod ends that were shot, a couple of my end links were bad, and i needed new shocks. So i am replacing all the bushings, end links, struts, shocks, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. That should be a very good start for you, and your car will feel soo much different when you are done.
