Tracking check is the "toe" of the wheels - usually the front only. "Toe" is the angle of the wheels if viewed from above the car ( are they all pointing straight ahead / parellel). A full geometry/chassis alignment SHOULD be checking ride height, "camber" (angle of wheels when viewed from in front/behind car - roughly vertical), "caster" (harder to fully explain but is kinda like the distance between the front and rear wheels and "toe". ALL 4 wheels should be checked on a full geometry.
