Another T-bar ?

I have been reading a lot of posts on t-bar crank en and people say en u need an alignment after. Can your alignment be out even if your truck tracks straight with no pulling left or right . I was always told if it tracks straight with no pulls its fine btw i haven't cranked

it depends how it is out of alignment. if the toe (the wheels direction in relation to each other, basically looking down on them they would look like / \ only not as severe LOL) it will cause pulling or some kind of handling issues.

if the camber is off, it should not affect handling. camber is the wheels looking like / \ form the front or back of the truck. you camber will go out of alignment slightly with a T bar crank.

your toe(more important generally) should not be affected.
