You can check toe with a careful measurement (with a stick ruler) across the tires.
Take one measurement at the very forward edge of the tires. Take the second measurement at the very aft edge of the tires. The two measurements should be within 1/16". If the forward measurement is significantly larger (1/8" or more), the wheels are toed out. You can fix this in a half-assed manner by screwing the tie rod sleeves an equal amount on both sides so the wheels come in at the front.
It's not a perfect solution, but in your situation, it's better than nothing.

Hi Brian, thanks
I'll check toe in. I have done it before on another car. Toe-in is about 1mm difference per rim? I think I measured the rim edges before... at the string.
I had the feeling today the car pull slightly to right side on the highway...
TX mentioned ball joints and CAs. In fact my ball joints are both toast. I need to change them and CAs here in Oman. I started building tools, spring compressor! and tool for pressing in the new ball joints. (I have my MIG welder here) I have the spare parts on my shelf.
