W123 Front-End Problem

I am noticing my 83 300D w/185K is pulling to the right. It seems to have happened "maybe" around the time I put in a new set of front pads. I can't detect any great difference in the amount of drag from side to side. Tire pressure is fine and the tires are worn evenly. I am bringing it to a garage next week for the state inspection. My thoughts are to have them check the front-end and set what needs to be set to stop the pulling. My question, is there anything esoteric about these front-ends? Can any competent shop set all what needs to be set? Should I go to a dealer for this (not in this lifetime !!!) Should I bring specs with me? The shop I'm using inspected the car last year and didn't play any games with me. From a quick wandering around the shop they seem pretty competent. They are also a small town set-up in a building about 100 years old that's been used for wheeled vehicles since it was built. Needless to say, I'm nervous. I haven't had ANY of my cars touched by anyone but me for more than 15 years. I don't even have a clue how to tell who's good and who's not anymore. Hopefully it's just a toe setting, if not, I do have a set of tie-rods to put in. Thanks for any advise.
