No, no, and no. You need to get an alignment after you get them installed though.

No, they aren't necessary.

Yes, they make plenty of difference. They add to the cost, they add noise/vibration/harshness to the ride, they tend to be higher maintenance than your typical rubber bushing, and they add some weight too. What they don't do is increase performance.
