my truck has pulled to the right since i got it about a year ago.the tire on that side even wore out on the outer part but that coulda been from lack of air.i got an alignment and put a new tire on but it still pulls to the right,maybe even a bit more.why is it doing this and how do i fix it?

I ve had 2 alignments two used tires and mine still pulls to the left. My guess is the springs.

Mine did that when I had a worn spindle on the front right wheel when I had my 4x4 f250. but if you dont have 4x4 then you wouldnt have that problem. and youd hear a humming sound too.

The front end will align great if the front end has been maintained over the years. I would replace bearings,races,balljoints,seals and all bushings if they've never been replaced. I did mine one side at a time since it digs into the ole wallet so much. Thats the price we pay for having an older vehicle. Hey, beats having a giant new truck payment.

you are so right..i really should have figured though
last year i drove a 91 crown vic and had my shocks ,springs ,bearings replaced and that girl sooaard like an eagle..
cost me bout a grand with labor included..

Im not sure if yours is four wheel drive or not but it will cost well over a grand for a shop to replace all those things in the front end on one of these trucks. Its a big PIA to do it yourself but alot cheaper. I believe it cost me around $400 per side just for parts for mine. But I did spend extra on better seals,balljoints,uv joints.

I wish i had a four wheel drive..eventually she will be...i knowww i knowww just buy a
4x4!! but see,,the thing is it was a gift from a person whose years are most likely numbered..so i cherish..

but back on subject..is their a tutorial on here/do it yourself manual that can help me accomplish that on my own? only things ive done myself is oil,pads,bleed brakes,sp's,cables,cap.. nothing major

A Hayne's manual. All auto parts stores carry them. They run around $20.

i bought a haynes manual and they're awesome.... it's based on a complete tear down and rebuild! they're lifesavers

the ball joints in the front can be a pain. I did mine and youll most likely need a press. I needed a big *** puller/press to get my front spindle out of the hub but you wont have that problem.
