Nothing is your alignment specs would cause the wheel not to return to center after a turn. The 2 things Billman and I have seen are bent steering racks (from hitting something) and corrosion inside the rack like milkbubble's car, who ran through a bunch of saltwater.

Yeah your caster is definitely high enough to bring the wheel back to center (that is caster's job).

You may have some tramlining going on, from poor offsets or too big of a tire.

Is this a new occurrence, or has it always happened?
