If you have an older model car and any of the front end parts are worn or need replacing, the front end will not stay in line. Most alignment shops will tell you if you need anything replaced under the car before doing an alignment. The tires being worn can make a car feel like it's out of line when it's not, but it is always a good idea to either replace worn front tires or at least put the better of the four on the front to give you better handling and control.Would anything happen if I spray paint the muffler tip?

Bad alignment is caused by wearing/worn componants or impact. If you were to align a car with bad tires, the alignment would be relative to the bad tires so, in a sense, it would be off if you got new tires. The best bet for alignments is to have new tires (or at least evenly worn) installed and THEN do the alignment. and evenly worn is not worn out.How do I fix a cracked intake manifold on a 1998 mustang gt?
If you don't change the tires, they will wear and pull differently, but alignment can be from driving up a curb, or sliding into one in winter. Hard driving can work it out too. If you take it in to get done, the shop *should* check the ball joints and your steering to eliminate them as a cause for your bad alignment to begin with.

Wheel alignment can go out of specs. by wear onsuspencion parts (ball joints control arm bushings...)
,steering part (tie rod ends ,idler arms ,rack&pinion , drag link,...)
or bent frame or any parts. (towing while tied to the wrong part. potholes, wreck ...)
a wreck in the rear can effect the front alignment. on the newer cars the rear is also aligned.
