Default Steering Angle

Hi, I have been dealing with an issue in my GX for a while now where the vehicle feels like it is swaying side to side and unstable while driving. I have oem shocks and air suspension (shocks/ air bags/ sensors have been replaced), and vehicle has been aligned several times. Also, tires have been road force balanced. Anyway, I noticed today when hooked up with techstream that the steering angle on the air suspension tab shows 26 degrees with wheel straight ahead, but the steering angle on the ABS/VSC/Trac tab shows 0 degrees. I did a zero point calibration and this stayed the same. Anyone know why these angles would not be the same? I would think that both readings come from the steering angle sensor. I am thinking that the steering angle issue on the air suspension tab may be related to the unstable feeling of the vehicle, but not sure. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

In addition to the steering angle showing 26 degrees with wheels straight in the air suspension tab of techstream, the three G Force values in the air suspension tab are all different and continue to change even with vehicle sitting completely still. If anyone else has techstream capabilities, I am curious as to what your steering angle and g force values show with vehicle level and steering straight ahead. Thanks!
