I just took ownership of this 94 and bought it knowing that I have to pull about 15-20 degrees left to go straight, thinking that it would be a simple alignment issue.
I had new wheels and tires put on today and the shop called and told me they couldn't align the vehicle because the driver front wheel is being pushed to the right pretty significantly by what they believe is the king pin knuckle.
I plan on tearing the knuckle apart and trying to figure it out myself, but I wanted to ask on here to see if anyone could tell me what could be causing the rightward push and what I need to adjust?
The shop kept using terminology like, "tighten the king pin," but I wonder why a loose pin would be causing a push at all? Wouldn't it be that there is pressure or tension causing the push? I am completely ignorant and new to all of this.
Any help is appreciated.
