Well...if your springs are shot, I suppose its likely that all your control arm bushings are fairly worn...which throws all sorts of randomity into your tracking geometries. May as well replace all your bushings too, or buy the new control arm sets whole and get the whole thing newly-aligned. Even if the springs are not shot and you are going for higher rate springs, new bushings should be involved anyway.
Dont disconect any thing on the suspension it will knock out the camber and caster and will ruin the rear tyres you can buy the proper compressers for around 60 to 80 pound on ebay or amazon it will cost a lot more to get the rear suspension tracked or new tyres
bushing on mercs last a good 15 years or so or around 200000 miles if its just a broken spring just replace that dont undo any bolts apart from shockers if there in the way
