At first I thought you meant the wheel just didn't recenter properly, 
which would just be an alignment issue.

But now that I hit reply-all and read you more closely, it sounds like 
you have 20 degrees of "float" in the middle!  Yikes.  Does 
braking/accelerating make the wheel go back and forth?  That can happen 
when a suspension component is seriously ovalled, had that with strut 
top mounts on my old 5kt (type 85/89 cars don't have those, though).

The only other thing I can think of is that somehow the preload/lash 
adjustment in your rack is very loose.  Are there any sounds associated 
with this play in the wheel?
