Straightens the camber and toe-out/toe-in of the wheels so the car doesn't pull to one side or the other when going down the road. This also promotes better tire wear, as wheels that are out of alignment (all pointing the same way) will cause excessive tire wear either on the inside or the outside of the tread.
