Default track bar replacement

I just replaced the track bar on my '95 Ram 1500 4x4 and now the steering wheel is off(left of center) Anyone know what I did wrong, or do I need to get it aligned?

Is it an adjustable track bar? Do you have a lift kit?

That could be part of the problem, it may not fit the same as the stock one. You need to center the axle under the truck as it sits on the ground. Once that is centered if the steering wheel is still off center adjust the tie rod adjuster sleeve on the tie rode that connects the power steering box to the passenger side knuckle. Or you can just take it to an alignment shop, it may be easier?
