Dear Sir,
1. While driving at 40 km above speeds, I feel dribbling / shocks / jerking inside and not at all smooth driving. I did tire balancing and alignment but did not help.

2. If I turn the steering wheel to right end and move the car, the steering wheel does not return automatically as it should be with any power steering. I have to manually straighten it.

Thanks in advance for your great advice.

Steering not self centralizing are either due to wheel alignment or faults with the steering rack or suspension components.
Check the arms bushes and ball joints for abnormal wear. Ensure steering U-joints etc are good.

Drifting while driving and excessive shock are mostly due to bad suspension bushes or linkages.
