Low pressure tyres? Not very good balljoints?
Maybe you can use the jack and try to move the steering whell to feel if it changes...

Low tye pressures...
even with 43psi (the specified pressure) in my unassited caravelle feels decidedly heavy after the syncro with power steering.. so if you are used to modern cars with assistance, it will feel very heavy... More spinach required
