Rights go because they get hammered by storm drains and curbs.
It can usually be straightened up by the alignment shop if you already have adjustable camber bushings installed.
Otherwise $$$ to install a kit.

Look for a hex where your upper ball joint pokes out the top of the beam.

1980-1997 Ford F250 ADJ Caster Camber Bushing Kits 4x4:eBay Motors (item 220525199437 end time Dec-18-09 17:00:00 PST)

Still a job for the alignment shop, but pressing apart the whole front end to fit them is a labor intensive job.
And at that point "in for a penny, in for a pound". You may as well do everything.
