Yup !! Like I mentioned in my previous post, aim for 3/16" of toe-in. Don't waste money taking it to an alignment shop because the only thing that is adjustable (without shims) is the toe. This can easily be done with 2 people and a tape measure.
Someone earlier mentioned a sway bar doesn't help wander. Well I can assure you that it does. It does this in a couple ways. It will reduce body roll on uneven roads, but the best advantage is that it helps keep the front axle where it need to be. Without a sway bar, all that locates the front axle is the front springs. The design of the factory sway bar doesn't use outer links so it bolts directly to the axle.
It's a huge safety item too. I was always concerned about breaking a front spring. If this ever happens (and it does) you are guaranteed to go into the ditch. The sway bar would prevent this.
