Default Steering Wheel Alignment After Strut Replacement

I recently had a front strut and bearing replaced on my '07 RX350 and just noticed today that the steering wheel alignment is not exact. Is that an easy fix? The car is 16 years old with 140k+ miles so it is not that important but it is something that is hard to ignore. Something I should be worried about? Should I take it back to the service garage and ask them to fix it? If it is an easy fix I will probably have them fix, but if not I will just live with it. Thanks

This^^^^^ As any time you tear down your suspension, you'll need to get a alignment & having a non straight axle rear, you'll want to get a 4 wheel alignment to set the rear toe as well,as that'd set your thrust angle too.......
