Hi Jeff,
I would suggest that you check that grease is getting to the thrust
bearing, at the top of the swivel axle when the upper king pin bush is
being lubricated.
If either upper king pin bush is installed incorrectly the grease way
(groove in the inner bush surface) may direct grease away from the trust
bearing rather than forcing grease into it.
Over time the thrust bearing will become dry and steering effort will
increase significantly.
