Car pulls to the right
Recently I notice my car leans toward the right when I am on the freeway. I just got an alignment done but it didn't make much difference. my only other probable cause is my steering wheel is misaligned. any insight would help. Thanks

Just what do you mean by 'leans toward the right'?
Is the right side lower than the left?
If the right side is lower, you might have a broken or sagging spring.
Does the car pull to the right so you have to constantly turn the wheel to the left?
If the car pulls to the right, you could need an alignment or you have a bad/soft tire or you have a right side brake dragging.
It is not normal for any car to lean or pull to the right.

so what your describing is a "pull" to the right, not a lean. If your car is pulling to the right, then maybe your alignment wasn't perfectly done. If your steering wheel isn't centered right after you get an alignment done, I would question the ability of the shop or tell them to do it again to make it correct.
It is kinda normal for the 2IS. for some reason, our car kinda leans towards the driver's side if you were to stare at the car directly on. Its a lot more noticable if you just install springs, you'll notice that one side of the car sags more. But you are absolutely correct that it is not normal for a car to pull to the right.

Maybe the sag is to compensate the driver...just a guess...
