Wow, you backed off 5 turns? That's quite a lot. After backing off, did you smack the sector shaft to reseat the thrust button?

Did you go back to the previous setting? You might be too loose now.

Either way, I'd recheck the thrust and see what you have. Note, I don't know any actual spec for it, I just go by feel. You want just enough to feel the backlash.

Edit, I've also run into cheap parts like tie rods and ball joints the have very high internal friction. This creates a phenomenon called memory steer but that doesn't seem to fit your description of the problem.
