Spreader bar for 88 300TE

I need a wheel alignment and my usual tire guy said that they need a spreader bar to do this. However, they were able to do avery satisfactory alignment for me two years ago. Is he right this time? I think he was too busy that day and that was his excuse, which is disappointing.

Does my car need a spreader bar to perform an alignment?
The car is a 1988 300TE without 4-matic.

Thanks in advance.

You are supposed to use a spreader bar actually

I recognise that a spreader bar is called for in the MB process BUT...

What is the purpose of this spreader bar? To ensure correct camber or what?

Vehicle attitude is also important.

Where would I go to get a spreader bar?
