In 1989 I purchased a lifetime alignment from Sears for my 1982 F100, which I bought new. I still have pickup (134000 miles because I don't drive it much).
One of the tires looks like it may be wearing on the outside edge so I took it to Sears for the alignment. However, Sears says they cannot align this pickup anymore; I believe because it had the I-beam front end. They can only adjust toe-in (not quite sure what that is).
Pickup drives well and doesn't seem to pull right or left. I don't think tire wear on outside is due to over-inflation. It is occurring on right side only.
Apparently, alignment requires that the I-beams be bent somehow and Sears cannot do this.
Does this sound like an alignment problem?
If an alignment is necessary, are there still shops that can align older Ford trucks?
Can the alignment be checked by Sears, even though they cannot actually perform the alignment?
Thanks.
