If you're truck has "A arm" type front suspension, you'll need to pull the upper control arm out. If it's a solid type front axle you'll need a camber/caster bushing. Better off going to get a good alignment.

 

You can get 3deg bushings for your 4x4, but a truck that is getting older such as yours it may be easier to buy new coil springs, they are known to get weak and sag. you would just be prolonging it if you buy the bushings to get the camber correct again. a set of skyjacker "leveling" coil springs cost me around $150 and i installed them myself in a couple of hours. You will of course need an alingment afterwards, but while you are in there you can adjust the camber so it is not such a sever deg positive. Just my 2 cents

 

Yeah, they sell eccentric cam bushings that the upper ball joint goes through. You most likely have a negative camber situation on your LF tire. This also "should" cause your truck to pull to the right (depending on what your caster and camber readings are like for the other wheel). Your ride height is probably lower than what it should be from sagging springs. I would recommend replacement of your front springs, and then an alignment. If you want to get by cheap you could probaly just get it aligned with your old springs in there because when they replaced your ball joint they may have moved the cam around causing your alignment to be off.

 

The FIRST thing you should do is to replace the rubber donut bushings at the end of the radius arms. This is the most likely cause of your alignment problem. If you can see a gap anywhere around the donut, then it's worn out. The replacement of this donut will probably bring your alignment back into spec without doing anything else.

good point pat. the radius arm busings are usually a point of failure on these trucks. I have to check my 88 for this as I have a camber/caster issue
