Traction bar bent

[Rob'68]

A friend followed me for a few miles and noticed that the front of my truck is offset from the back. It 'crawdads' down the road with the front offset a little to the left. I looked under the rear of the truck to see if I could find the problem. I found that the traction bar is bent quite a bit. I'm not sure when it happened. It had to have been before I got it and I never noticed it. It looks like the rear end is angled slightly to the left. I was thinking that if I took the bar off, it would release the rear to shift a little to the right, since the bar is bent (shortening it). Does this make sense? Also, how much difference would there be between having a trac bar and not having one? Thanks.
