Need Help with alignment. New volvo owner 200 1984

I recently purchased a volvo . And while performing routine main. Belts hoses fluids filters. etc I noticed the Rack and pinion was leaking. I didn't have the money for a new one , so I picked up one at the junk yard off a 91 volvo. Everything was fine . Then I got my front calipers done , everything ws ok for a few days . Now the car pulls left. When I drive it pulls sligtly left and continues when I apply the brakes . The handling when going around corners is not a sgood either. I hear no noises fromthe front end . So I had the alignment done at a mercedes frame and alignment place. MY Caster is way off. 2.6left side. 3.6 right. the nominal is 3.5 min 3.0 and max is 4.0. The camber is .3 left and -.1 on right min being .25 nom .63 max 1.00 The toe is .6 left and .7 right. Th min being .03 the nom .06 and th emax .09


The cross camber is .4 the min is -.50 the max .50 nom 0.00
cross caster -.9 min .50 nom 0.0 max .50
total toe .13 min .06 nom .13 max .19
set back .10

Help my alignment guy said caster isn't adjustable. No accidents of anykind ever help. She runs liek new with only 98000 miles what do I do. Front end allegedly inspected and ok.
