Vehicles that are not aligned properly are very hard to steer, and it causes a lot of tears and wear on the tires due to friction. Wheel alignments on vehicles are always done when parts of the car is replaced during maintenance.
During a wheel alignment, it is necessary toe-in and toe-out the wheel. Toe in wheels faces forward and inwards on the front tires while toe out wheels faces forward and outwards on the front wheels. It significantly improves on balance. Ensuring the caster and camber are inspected during wheel alignments. The camber is always the tilt of the wheel while the caster is the tilt of the axis of the rearward. The camber is far from the center of the vehicle. Positive caster also makes the car very stable at high speeds. While negative caster can make the vehicle topple over due to instability

If you are lowering your car, ensure that the installation springs are designed for your car. Never cut the suspension springs, it will damage the vehicle. Though it is a cheaper way of lowering your car; the cut springs will improperly align the car, and it will increase the amount of negative camber. It will make your types susceptible to tear and wear from the inside.
If you want to know if your car wheel is aligned properly, check at the tread wear on the tyres. One part will be more worn out than the other part.
