Question Power steering?

Recently I noticed that my power steering is off.
I can turn the wheel fine and with ease, the problem I'm having is that the wheel does not turn back to its position and I need to turn it back.
Its not hard turning it back, but it does not automatically do it like it used to.

Power steering fluid reservoir is full, and no leaks.
Front end suspension and steering components replaced within the last 6 months to a year.

If you haven't replaced the steering damper, you might put it on your your bucket list. It's an easy replacement & not a budget challenge.

That's more likely a suspension problem than a power steering problem. The steering gearbox is not self centering.

I would agree with compu_85. Is not the centering thing a function of toe adjustment? or caster?
