According to my son (master mechanic at Ford), there is no center position of the steering with the heavy duty chassis. They don't use a rack and pinion system that allows for a center position, but employ a recirculating ball system (worm and sector, and this system has no defined center except the one given by the caster of the wheels. And yes, the power steering is supposed to overcome this.
All the steering assist systems available for the F53 chassis try to create an artificial center feel by increasing the resistance to move a way from the defined center.
The Steer Safe I have installed is doing this with the help of four heavy duty springs that try to keep the wheels centered.
