[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 428131, member: 18789"] He is kinda right/kinda wrong. You can definitely get the wheels toe'd in properly without a track bar and that is the important thing when doing an alignment because that is what affects the wear and overall handling on turns and such. What he can not do is get your steering wheel perfectly straight because there will always be slop that allows the steering wheel to move left and right a bit without actually turning the wheels at all. The track bar can sort of hide the dead spot so one would help for that purpose. The stock track bars rather suck though and they really bind suspension bad when using the stock mounts especially if lifted at all. Although adjustable length/disconnectable would help with that a bit. I personally haven't ran a track bar in 7 years, no real issues without it except slightly suckier handling due to the slightly sloppier wheel reaction. [/QUOTE]
