Check tyre pressures, it makes a vast difference if they are under pressure, also lubricate lower steering column uj  It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

It can vary vehicle to vehicle, we were down to purchase a 65 plate HSE with 3k on the clock, had it for a week before rejecting it for the MY16 Landmark with 1k on the clock, the Landmark is much lighter, can’t explain why, all the same parts, tyres, steering components etc.

I have found wheel alignment can make a huge difference to the weight of the steering , followed by steering shaft UJ seizing.

You need to be speeking to the guy who did the 4 wheel alighnment and checking the before and after printouts, in the meantime keep a check on tyre wear. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
