Mopar Enthusiast recently had a front end rebuild - www.moparenthusiast.com
it takes a second to register, and its free to view online - it takes you through the entire process, and then the alignment.
Its in the November 09 issue - starts on page 41

6 Dart 7 MOPAR OR NOCAR
UPDATE!!
please look at my other post (http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=79013)
I believe I have a 73 or later K-member. I already ordered my kit from P S T, is everything that comes in my '67 kit the same for a '73 dart (besides the idler arm)? Or am I going to need to return my entire kit?

Thanks for the heads up Fred!! Offer expires today. I sure hope they have someone there on a Saturday taking orders!!
UPDATE!! They are there today and I placed my order. My car is a 67 Dart with 9 inch drums that I am converting over to BBP discs off of a 73 dart. I bought the complete set up at a swap meet last summer for $250 including the upper control arms. I ordered a kit for the 73 front end.

wow, great resource... I need to do this BADLY!
I am almost willing to stop driving my dart the front end is so bad..... Almost...
soon as our bank account recovers from the starter/battery/distributor/plugs/wires/cap/rotor/msd/wiring harness/new carb/instrument cluster/radio/speakers/seat covers/dash pad/floor pans/new welder/mirror/door panels/armrests/lockset/gas tank/sending unit ....buying fest, I will buy the pst kit...
seems like the rubber kit must be the way to go... the people who are reccomending rubber on this thread are no slouches!
i used the same PST kit, however i didn't notice that it only said 2 outer tie rod ends. I wanted them all replaced so I had to buy the inners seperatly.
Also for tools, if you have a big crescent wrench or pipe wrench, use that to get the upper ball joints out. And instead of pressing the upper control arm bushings in, you can use a bolt and some sockets to make a "press" like so:

The kit I bought comes with 4 tie rod ends and 2 tie rod sleeves.
