Independant front suspension has 4 tie rod ends & 2 sleeves connecting them together. One end is right hand threads & the other is left hand. When you loosen the clamps & turn the sleeves it adjust the length of the tie rod assembly. The first thing to do is to see if the length of the tie rods is your problem. Get the inner ends in the same relative position to the frame rails. When they are the piman arm & idler arm should be pointing straight back. Then eyeball the front tires in relation to the rear. They should look parallel to the rear wheels. If not that is the problem. There is plenty of adjustment to work with. Probably 1to 2 in. on each side. If they are very much uneven there is something drastically wrong. You might want to check your rear end for shifting. See if the tires are in the same distance in the wheel openings. You can measure from a relative position on the frame to a relative position on the axle.
