As a test, I took the car out on the local 5-lane interstate
one early morning and brought the car to 100mph. Absolutely
no pulling or shaking. The car was quite stable. So, YMMV,
but for me the specialized tool was not necessary.
When I let off the gas, though, the car dove slightly to the
left…
A somewhat inconclusive proof of ‘not necessary’, Mike…:-))

Agree, otherwise why would Kirby Palm have gone to the trouble to
detail their construction? Or moi to go to the trouble and expense
of building them from scratch…??

I could take a stab at answering that, Ted, but the question 'twill away
again, from me to you
Its been established that, at minimum, “satisfactory” results can be
obtained without use of the tools. That is, the car drives straight and
true, the tires wear evenly, the steering self-centers, etc.
If you’ve done it…ahem…both ways… the obvious reply to you is “Did
you notice any difference?”
