camber?

[rockyrunner99]

Is the camber adjustable on the front, with the twin I beam suspension?

If it's got ball joints, yes.

Are you sure it ain't the rear springs tho?
That's how it is on my '91 Bronco.

Well the rear spring brackets were just replaced, the main leaf was also replaced, and the other leafs are not broke. I suppose one side could be sagged more then the other though. It is actually sitting quite level now, and drives pretty straight. It pulls slightly to the right, and the front drivers side tire tilts in at the top slightly. I think I will wait till warmer weather to mess with anything like that though.

Yes, there are adjustable camber bushings on it. The factory type are adjustable, but you can only get so much out of them. In the event you need more adjustment, the parts stores usually carry them for around 30-40 bucks a piece.

A tape measure can tell you for sure in just a few minutes.

I used paper on a clip board, few sheets of cardboard from Costco,
1" wide tape measure and scissor jack and scissor jack handle,
nice flat+level slab of concrete at an old missile silo ...and a pencil.

I noticed (more) the '91 being the other way, one tire tucked in, but
yours could still be the same problem as mine.

Turn the steering wheel to the same position it's in while driving straight...

1) measure the distance between the tread face of the front tire to
the tread face of its rear tire. My bronco was within 1/32".
It was easy as pie on the Bronco, you might need help measuring a pickup

2) adjust the toe-in close to zero...

...less than 1/32 inch "in". (?) (that's my favorite anyway)

Sorry, I filed out all my stuff now. I came here for one easy question at first, but now I have tons of questions. So I will be coming here as long as I have my truck, I am sure. Thanks for all the info.

No problem, and that's why we're here....so, any questions just ask.
