Yes, the track bar relocation, as minor as it may seem, is incredibly important, without it, your axle will be off center, causing your steering and suspension to be tweaked, and also did you have your front wheels re alligned, that is also important

Here is a good write-up.
...or you can go with an adjustable trackbar.

Another possibility is a bad front pinion angle.
Remove the front DS to see if it goes away.
