To start, I'd check that the trackbar mount is tight and that the steering box is as well. Make sure there are no cracks in the box mount.

If you rev the engine is it easier to turn?

I would have someown else turn the wheel while you watch the steering, check for any binding or anything loose in the steering or trackbar?

Is your steering box(pitman arm/steering wheel) properly "centered",the valving has a "neutral" spot from which right/left starts from.

Check the engine mount bracket bolts on the driver's side, if the bolts are gone/sheared the engine may be sitting on the steering shaft at times.
