It did try to return, but the friction between the strut mount and the top spring pad would make it stick. I just had the order of the washers wrong.
Here's a diagram from realoem. The green arrow shows you where the washer should go. The red arrow shows you where I put the washer, which is bad and that's how I ended up with sticky steering.
