Have your wife sit in the Jeep and gently move the steering wheel.

I removed my old track bar, then I had my wife get inside the Jeep (with it running) and turn the steering wheel until the Jeep moved left (or right) in relation to the axle

this is from step #5

5. Use a crescent wrench to secure the rod end jam nut in place and make sure that you still have both misalignment spacers in place. With the engine off, put your key in the ignition, make sure that the steering wheel is unlocked and then have a friend turn it in one direction or the other until you can line up your adjustable front track bar rod end with the axle mount hole on your Jeep JK Wrangler. Secure the rod end in place using the factory hardware.
