track bar?

I was just wondering. What does the track bar on the front axle of a superduty do? I have seen all kinds of leaf spring vehicles without it. What would happen if it was removed? Just curious.

The track rod keeps the axle aligned with the steering rod.During suspension travel.
If the axle moved left or right so would the steering. I'm sure it also provides some lateral stiffness
