Unhappy Uneven tire wear!!

I recently looked at my front tires and noticed that my right tire is almost bald. Well not the whole tire but just the outer wall of it... Could this be because of an incorrect wheel alignment or what?
I Have Tein S-Tech springs front and back. Stock 15" OZ rims stock yokohama tires.

HELP PLEASE!!!

Unless you're constantly making high speed left turns like in a stock car race, then your alignment is out.

You needed to get an alignment after you droped your car... if you didn't you'll have uneven tire wear.

Agreed on the alignment. But even if you had an alignment done after you dropped your car, the Lancer has bad camber settings from stock, and you can't adjust camber on the front. My friend had his stock tires go bald after only 15k miles, and Mitsu said he must drive aggressively so they won't replace them. We took his car to an alignment shop and found out that his STOCK Lancer had a positive 3/4 camber on one side and a positive 1/2 on the other!!! That's freakin' poor factory tolerances if you ask me.

Ahem sorry for the winded response. In short, get an alignment and maybe install some camber bolts to make sure. And you are rotating your tires often right?
