No, you ALWAYS want it. Since it's totally dependent on how much you turn the wheel, a correctly setup system will work well all the time. It's also not adjustable in just about any car I can think of.

X is right, while no cars have a adj. for it like camber and cast., on some cars there are ways to correct it. On my car I had to machine the rear mounting surface of the rack .25 to move it back and that gave me more ack. each car is diff. and you have to look at if and try and figure what will work.
