This indicates, at least in type 44's, that the adjustment screw on the
rack is too loose.  No idea about the servotronic cars.

I think the screw is called a tension, or 'rack preload' adjustment?  Too
loose, and the steering won't return.  It's quite possible I have it
backwards; the Bently covers this.
