Unhappy alignment after king pin nightmare

hello, I have a 1975 f350 towtruck I replaced the pasenger side kingpin and strut bushing and that seems like it put my alignment way out of wack for lack of a better word. I can tell by my front tires that are now smooth on the inside.I hope someone can tell me how I can fix this myself becouse I need to buy new tires and I dont want to see them destroyd in 5 months. Any ideas wil be greatly apreciated.

Sounds like a toe-out problem. I recommend taking it to an alignment shop...let the experts deal with it. Will save you from an added expense of replacing tires all the time. Plus, makes the truck safer to drive when properly aligned.

You should replace both Kingpins and strut bushings at the same time. This will probably cure your alignment "problem"
