Have you checked the amount of steering slack you have at rim of steering wheel? On some models the maximum should be a total of about 1". This with engine off car stationary.
Adjustment of steering box is covered in shop manuals of some models.

My indy is saying the return to center on my car is definitely lacking, I wasn't sure what was normal or inadequate there but he confirmed it should coming to center a lot better than it does. He said it feels like a box thats been overadjusted. He wasn't able to say if there's correlation between the wandering in the wind and the lack of centering, thats what I'm curious about.
Unfortunately the adjustment bolts is seized up, only way I can get to it is with a wrench from underneath and I just can't get it loose.
I have less than inch of freeplay in the steering wheel.
