Really! You need a good alignment shop that knows how to bend I-beams.

thanks for the response. I had planned on letting an alignment shop do it, I was just wondering how it was possible - there aren't any nuts or bolts to loosen like newer cars. I didn't expect to have to have any parts bent. How much should I expect to pay to have this done?
thanks for the info

I don't know if you will find any one who bends them anymore. Ford now frowns on bending I-beams even though the picture is from a ford service manual. Usually it is just a ride height problem and most alignment shops will want to first restore the ride height. Most likely that will cure your problem anyway unless your kingpins are way gone. New springs are fairly inexpensive and are the best cure for the ride height problem.

adjust camber

the last time I had my '72 aligned, the technician told me he couldn't adjust camber. No adjustment to do, but he told me new springs would help, so I replaced them (easy job), and my 33's wear perfectly with the right air pressure.
