Steering wheel strangely not centering after turns S40-V40

Hello,

I did not see any previous post concerning this, so I am asking for help.

My daughter's S40 has a strange steering wheel centering issue. After completing a turn, the tires/wheels return to center and the car tracks straight. However, the steering wheel does not return to center. Say you make a left turn, the steering wheel will be cocked about 20-40 degrees to the left after the turn is complete. Make a right turn, and the same think happens except now the wheel is cocked 20-40 degrees to the right.

The steering feels normal. No binding, no slop, tracks straight; just plain normal. Her fluid was low, so I topped it off about two weeks ago with Red Line Synthetic Power Steering Fluid. Is it possible the two fluids are not compatible causing this issue? Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Richard
Apex, NC
