I understand what you say but the gen4 in SA have a steering angle sensor.
See videos here showing how the steering wheel re-centre to the angle on steering sensor.
Maybe look at the video I referenced or check my posts.

Also use the obd2 SZ viewer shows it.
If the Steering angle sensor show 7degrees after lift ,they set it to via laptop to cancel out the 7degrees. Then steering will always return to 100% horizontal.
So you welcome to not believe it, for us it work 100%.

Then if you reset the angle sensor with the wheel centred as soon as you power on it goes to 7 degrees?
So the solution is to hold the wheel at -7 and reset the angle sensor to zero, so -7 becomes zero, then when you power on the wheel turns to the re-calibrated +7 degrees, which is actually horizontal?
I wonder if it is something to do with the suspension height sensor and it is somehow calculating where the straight ahead would be with the axle at that level?
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Are you saying that even if you wind the track rod until the wheel is centred, when you turn the ignition on the steering turns itself to 7 degrees?I understand what you say but the gen4 in SA have a steering angle sensor.

No height sensor on the LCV which is now the most common version
