If that's the case, the broken tie rod could be causing the pentimeter problems, and in turn causing your steering servo not to center properly. It could also be simply stripped servo gears or a broken tie rod. The more information you can give us, the better we'll be able to help you.
I adjusted my steering throw today - turned it down a couple of clicks so that there is no longer any buzzing sound when you turn the steering all the way left or right - seemed to help out my steering not returning to center a little bit more - either that or I am just getting used to it??? It's nothing so serious that I would consider tearing anything apart quite yet...
