They make offset control arm shafts to correct this. The shaft pivots are offset to get more adjustment than stock parts allow.

The offset shafts are a viable, easier solution.
The issue is that the frame has sagged over the years with the heavy engine weighing down on it. Another more complex solution is to have the frame bent back into its original shape and dimensions at a frame shop. This solution really only makes sense to do if you are doing a full body-off restoration though when you can more easily work with the bare frame.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
