Altezza SXE10 - Self Center Problems

Hey there,

My front suspension setup looks like this:
MeganRacing Drift Knuckles (increased Angle)
DriftMax front Upper Camber Arms
17x8 Offset 35mm Wheels
215 45 Valino Tires
Polybushings everywhere


The problem is that my steering will not turn back to center on straight lines or normal cornering. It also doesn't pull to one side. The wheel stays in the set position when turning and does not move. This seems odd to me with these alignment numbers and bothers me a lot. It will do very little self steering while driftng.
The turning resistance of the steering wheel is normal or slightly higher than normal.

My steering pump makes some normal "steering pump noises", but I don't assume it's broken (changed the fluid a month ago).

I would try adjusting for more camber and toe-out to help here.
I am very confused here. Does anyone here have similar experiences and advice to share?

Check for binding, especially the top mount bearings.
Failing that beg, steal or borrow some lower offset wheels to try.
 
Did some more driving and its obviously some form of memory steer. When im able to put it on a lift or jack it, i'll check for binding. Maybe my steering rack play is too tight. Wheels are turning as soon ill touch the wheel (after overcoming the required force).
