compensate for the spreader bar being unavailable"

Hi Marshall; How much would the difference be in toe-in if the
spreader bar were not used, as would be the case at most alignment
shops. Very little toe-in under dynamic conditions?
Impossible to predict. In a BRAND NEW car, there will be little
difference. As wear in the steering system/suspension increases, the
difference becomes greater and greater.
That's why it's necessary - because it's almost impossible to compensate
accurately once there is wear ANYWHERE in the system.
