Is poor steering returnability after a turn a known issue in Changan Kalam across Pakistan?

Some users say the steering doesnt auto-center smoothly after a full turn. Could this be due to improper wheel alignment o r steering rack faults?

Yes. In many units, the steering fails to auto-center properly after sharp turns.

Causes include:

Misaligned front suspension geometry

Binding in the steering column joints

Stiff o r dry steering rack gears

Improper alignment settings from factory o r workshops also contribute, especially if camber/caster angles aren’t adjusted accurately which many alignment shops don’t check in rural areas.
