Full front suspension rebuild, or not?

Once I have the carb rebuild done (this weekend hopefully!) I can put it up on a pair of ramps and get a better vantage point.

I would plan to do the work myself and then have an alignment shop set the adjustments.

Ramps will show you nothing. You need it on jack stands. Put jack stands under the lower control arms. That way, the tires are in the air supporting no weight. If you would like PM me your number and I'll walk you right through how to inspect the entire front suspension. I am a retired alignment and suspension mechanic. I am just too damn lazy to type it all out.
