Default Alignment?

A few weeks ago I noticed my car started leaning to the right when I go about 40+ mph. How much do alignments usually run for just to get it back to normal? Could it possibly be something else? Its not real bad but I don't want to put it off and have to pay a whole lot to fix it.

Alignment runs anywhere from about $60-90, depending on who does it. They will check all suspension components while performing the alignment.

I'm not sure when the previous owner did it. I've never done it and got the car with 125k miles. Has 140k now

How much tread do you have left on your tires? Are the tires wearing down irregularly? And check tire pressure. Contact patch changes with tire pressure.

If There Are Any Firestone's In Your Area They Do Alignment Once For About $70-80, But If You Buy Lifetime Alignment They Will Do It As Many Times As You Wish. For The Rest Of The Time You Own The Car. That Costs $179.99, Personally I Have Lifetime Alignment..

Could a bad strut cause it to go to either side?
