Bad enough to start wearing out the tires unevenly. That is what happended to me. Wasted newish tires.

It changes because it is independent suspension. Any amount of lift or lowering will change the angle of the control arms which changes alignment. I took pictures of my torsion twist but haven't had a chance to upload them with my work schedule and the fact that my normal computer crashed and i'm just using a netbook.
