The only thing that can be changed is the toe in. I adjust that myself. I prefer a low setting to reduce cross steer struggling while on ice and packed snow.
The toe in can be thrown off by a bad pot hole. Your model has thick rubber mounts where the steering rack attaches to the fire wall. There are also oil filled hollow rubber bushing that join the two control arms. This allows the steering geometry to deflect under acceleration and cornering forces and causes the fighting a snake steering. It gets worse when the rubber bits age. Tow-in that is not right can make the steering feel heavy and not responsive. Weak shocks will create over steering reactions in fast lane changes as body sway dynamics change the steering geometry almost leading to instabilities but not quite. But you can feel that it is want to go in that direction.
