Default Re: heavy steering

Jack up the front axle to get the wheels an inch or two off the ground. Grease all the steering and suspension joints, then turn the steering end to end a few times, and grease the steering joints again.

I use my original tool kit grease gun, but the dealers sell a special tip to install on the modern grease gun. Try to buy the metal tip, not the plastic one that some dealers sell.

Grease it well, fill the steering box, then report back. Also squirt oil on the dry springs and see how much better it rides.
