Well, I experienced no self-centering whatsoever when moving forward, at any speed. But it does self-center in reverse, and it does work by just pushing the car back with the steering at full lock. The steering wheel starts turning.

Setting to close toe to about zero did not have much effect. I'll try playing with camber next. Also, I'll try changing the wheels to the stock 14" pressed steel ones.
