What exactly do you mean by "it is not returning to center?"

Please be more specific.

Its the first generation with eps. Thk for reply well like am telling you if you turn rig or left you have to bring it to the center so to go straight if not it will stay in the turning position. Same like a forklift. And I try everything even put on computer but nothing, and I think its the control units. Plz help! Very desperate.

Was this problem the reason for replacement of the rack?

Have you tried adjusting the rack guide screw?
Are the control arm ball joints in good condition?
Was the wheel alignment checked?
