front end alignment 200 1989

Pulling is pretty much entirely from incorrect or changing toe in/out. Changing toe will steer the car. The tie rod ends are the part which mostly effect toe.
Camber will have little to no effect on steering or toe.
You can easily check and see where your camber is relatively by simply looking at the top of the strut nut cover in the opening of the top of the fender under the hood. Those three bolts which hold the strut to the fender are how the camber is adjusted, the front 2 are slotted.
If you want to see if they effect anything, before you take it to someone else, loosen the front nuts on one strut and move it in or out. Moving in, toward the engine, will produce more negative camber.
I usually like 1 or 2 degrees negative camber, but Volvo recommends about 0 to +1 I think.
Oh, and toe can change if the A arm bushings are worn, and the arm shifts, so make sure they are OK.
