Yes. Sounds like an Alignment issue or someone made the backlash in the steering gear too tight.

yes it should return
On a straight axle vehicle its a caster issue usually worn king pins or leaf spring sag. The caster is usually about 2 or 3 degree but I find bunping up the wedges to around 7 degree works better for straight axles. and then you have to reset the tow in. start by greasing everthing and change any worn parts.
