well unless your torqueing the chassis more than about2-3 inches I wouldnt worry about it my self. If you can come off of the line and pick one wheel up alot farther than the other then I would worry. If thats the case, use the ole' chain and lock fix

If the car is straight and you want it to run straight...get some sub frame connectors welded in...that is the first mod anyone should do..no squeeks, rattles, no T top leaks, and if you track it a lot and have sicky tires your rear quarter panels will not start to wrinkle up on ya..the car will handle better too...mine just took a hell of a shot when it was in a ditch going sideways at 65 MPD..hit something a ruined three wheeels, two tires, lower, and upper panhard rods...but it is still straight as an arrow..double diamond welded in sub frame connectors kept it right...phuchin deer dodgin is a tough sport...
