Hi John,
Thick oil/ Penrite Steering box grease will also make the steering heavier.=20=
So will under inflated tyres.
So will an Unlubricated top Trunion phosphor bronze thrust washer, or poorly=
shimmed. I.e. Too tight.=20
So will a smaller steering wheel.=20
So will wide tyres.=20
So will thick oil in the steering idler box.=20
So will too much castor.=20
I have wide (6 inch) tyres, heaps of negative camber, and a small steering w=
heel.=20
I run 32 - 34 PSI in the front tyres, 2lb less in the rears.=20
Yes - Penrite type steering box grease will make your steering heavier.=20
To get it back to "normal", I also run these.=20

No commercial interest.=20
Try Roller bearing top Trunion bearings.=20
Best
