just to make sure, did you check the tire pressure in your tires to see if they are uneven? or, have you tried rotating your tires to rule them out? as far as track bars go, if you have a stock one, you cannot rotate it to make any adjustments to the position of your axle. you can however make adjustments to your drag link if that's what you meant to say.

Question?--if you hold the steering wheel straight do you drift or do you drift if you let go of the stearing wheel with it off center a bit. I hope you get what i am asking, becuase if your steering wheel is off center you and you hold it straight I would expect it to drift a bit. When I recentered mine if found rotating it clockwise in relation to the driver side wheel moved my steering wheel right and vice versa. if you let go of the stearing wheel and your jeep drifts, it makes me wonder if it's not caster angle or something else--I'm not up on that stuff but I'm sure someone else will chime in.
