Mehran wheel not returning to center

I changed rack end, tie rod and chimta on Mehran and now steering wheel doesn't return to center after turns when letting go of steering.

Wheel alignment person said it would correct itself with time, but it's been quite a while now.

Will this need some repair or is it ok?

Have you got wheel cambering done?

Your alignment person was a jackass.

Find someone who knows wheel alignment. Wheel not returning to center is a caster angle problem.

A lot of alignment shops don't have a Caster reading. Make sure you find one that can read Caster angles.

umm what?

even the oldest of the oldschool, spirit level type or optical alignment machines had measurement to check caster. Infact one can build a scale and plumb bob to check camber and then in turn caster with some basic math calculation.

Took me 2 days and over 5 shops to find one in ISB.
