Steering not self centering

[TedStriker]

For anyone who's not certain what issue I'm referring to, take a look at the video below. Right before he pulls away at the start, he turns the steering wheel left. As he pulls away he releases the wheel and it straightens up,. Mine doesn't do this. If I did the same as him, my car would continue to turn left across the road. My alignment has been checked and it's spot on.

If I did the same as him, my car would continue to turn left across the road.

I'm pretty sure that my car would too - but the thing is that I don't notice because I never let the steering wheel move through my hands. That may be why some people really notice the issue and others don't. It's simply down to a slightly different driving style.

I should stress that I'm not saying this because it explains the problem (and the variability from car to car), but it may help to understand why it could be fairly common, but not commonly reported.

I'm a bit sea sick after watching the video but yeah it centers after pulling off. I'll try it, too.
