Steering return center after Tie rod install

[obsolete]

I replaced a steering rack, inner tie rod, and rod ends at the same time and my steering wheel doesn't fully return to center on its own after a turn. It kinda does it a little bit initially, but end up having to grab it and turning it back myself. I noticed it did this on my b5 a4 i had after replacing tie rods as well. anybody else had this happen?

Did you get an alignment?

not yet. just eyeballed it best i could for now. would this def be it?

You need a proper alignment for your suspension to work properly, lol.

Get an alignment then delete this thread, because that is your problem. Most peoples eyes arent good enough to judge the angles of a cars alignment.

Get an alignment, and I hope you don't have some crappy Chinese rod end tie rods(like Megan etc).
