No.VF electric steering..
Does it self centre when driving straight like on freeways? My steering wheel is a bit off centre when driving straight. So will the electric rack keep trying to straighten out and create a swerving effect?
Power steering assistance, be it hydraulic or electrical, simply reduces the effort a driver needs to turn the steering wheel and point the vehicle in the desired dorection. Sometimes the power assistance is designed to be proportional to road speed but it doesn't go further than that.VF electric steering..

Yes, EPS assistance needs to know the straight ahead position of the steering wheel so it can calculate the correct amount of assistance during a turn based on the steering wheel position and the amount of torque being sensed. Such means calibration should always be part of the wheel alignment process.Did you have a suspension/wheel alignment done?
If the steering wheel is off centre, you need to have a steering sensor re-learn procedure done (So many tire/suspension shops aren't away of this)
Alignment was done but like many assignments these days it did not achieve centred steering wheel. Surely this can be achieved but simply adjusting both tie rods ends equally to one side so they match the steering wheel direction?Did you have a suspension/wheel alignment done?
