Might have been said before but is the rack secure on its mountings and correct size bolts used i.e. not a big hole with a small bolt. A while ago I hit a kerb [dont ask I was being foolish] and the steering wheel then failed to centre, turned out I had pushed the rack to the extreme end or its mounting. If yours was loose it could explain why it never returns to the same place. I always find a few beers and a day off helps. Good luck

If you used the washers i described to you the steering should be limited to 2 3/4 turns lock to lock, camber is no prob, to remove mushroom take out pinch bolt and tap a wedge or screwdrive into slot to spread it and out she pops, spent ages measuring the distance sticking out the rack wondering why it was doing the same as yours until I realised the rack wasn't quite central to the chassis. shame I finish at 7am be only to happy to help my van carries all my tools and welding gear
Don't give up you're almost there
