Otherwise wheels will slightly turn more one way than the other when the

HOWEVER a good thump can actually move the WHOLE RACK sideways. That
makes a nonsense of the statement heIf you are doing the job
properly, the first thing to do is line up the rack again.

Dunno what car you mean, but the one on mine has thick aluminium brackets
on the rack mounted to thick steel ones on the subframe. You'd need a lot
more than a good thump to shift it.
