Problem is more likely to be camber, or more specifically cross camber.
Only the toe-in can be adjusted. But the good news is that the other stuff only gets out of whack when something has failed or been damaged.
Inspect control arms and bushings. Top strut mount can be worn/cracked/torn.
At 32K, things should not be worn out. So look for signs that something is distorted. The subframe is also part of this. It is soft from the heat of the hot dip galvanizing. So a blow from the side can distort it. SF bolts can be checked for tightness and one can look at the bushings bolts as well. Look for signs of rubbing from the SF moving agains the body.
Note that a bad tire can cause pulling, and check tire pressures. The rear axle can push the vehicle and you then have a crooked steering wheel to deal with. So you really do not know that the problem is from the front. The rear axle can be distored from a lateral blow or some idiot jacking up the vehicle by the axle.
Please post your full 4 wheel camber numbers. This will tell you where to look.
