I just installed power steering on an 1981 f100 pick-up. the power steering and pit-man arm came off a 4wd. I put it on a 2wd. the pit-man arm was larger on the 4wd but it was what I needed to fit the gearbox splines. now my alighnment looks to be off (as it is going to wear the outside of both front tires.) Question can a alighnment shop adjust this with the end links on the tie rod.

An alignment shop should be able to align it as long as the only part you change was the pitman arm and box.I believe there is enough movement in the adjuster to do this.
