did you try jacking the front end up and swing the wheels from side to side, ? is it easy or hard, there might be something binding, does all the grease fitting's take grease. are the kingpins free,? is there any binding in the tierods,idler arm ? I have seen frozen idler arms in modern cars, did you service the steering box,check for lube, is out of adjustment,? is it worn,? ,disconnect the drag ling and see if it easy to turn, ,maybe it is binding,?? do the tires have the correct tire pressure. modern cars have spoiled us,making everything easy, these cars were driven all the time. if you do not drive to much you are not used to it,and just might seem to be hard to turn, compare it to another car without power steering, going to a 53 Merc with power steering might be the answer, far as a electric steering,seems like a bad idea, not unless you want to build a street rod, my 3 cents 37RAGTOPMAN Hope this helps.
