Front Suspension/Alignment Questions
My 75' pulls to the left quite a bit so I'm pretty sure I need an alignment, the problem is I would imagine I would have to have newer front suspension (I'm not sure when anything was replaced). I was kinda looking for a starting point in going through the suspension to see what it might need before I could do an alignment, thanks in advanced.

well the front end is cheap to replace you can get a front end rebuild kit for around $300.
$279 for the all ball joints tire rods and bushings

if you are doing the work yourself this is your best bet then go get the car aligned with confidence that your front end is new.
I would jack the left front up first though an spin the tire. then the rear checking both for bearing wear and brakes sticking. it could just be a brake caliper sticking am you don't need an alignment.

Let the shop tell you that you need to replace the parts, mine did and didn't charge me a dime (or penny for that matter 
).Wilcox sells a complete front rebuild kit with Moog and Federal Mogul parts for about 250.... Just did mine and am very happy with it, the alignment shop said it was a first rate job
