Hard to steer

Does anyone else think that their 12 valver is hard to steer. I love my truck don't get me wrong but when it comes to hauling a trailer or just maneuvering in traffic when I have to really crank on the wheel such as going lock to lock then I wish I had a 24 valve. They all seem easier to steer than 12v's. Maybe I'm Just imagining this. ???

Re:Hard to steer

Any other symptom's? I can turn mine with one finger. Had a new Ford once that needed a new pump in the first three months. Anything vibrating up front?

Re:Hard to steer

No other problems just that it doesn't even steer as easily as my first gen did. Not to mention that every 24 v I have ever driven can be one finger steered. Just seems that most of the 94-98 I have driven are harder to steer. Maybe it's just us Kentuckian's

Check to see if the steering stabilizer is binding up. I changed mine and it seemed easier to steer, maybe it was all in my head though. ;D
