Hi all,
LT28 1989 LHD. Driving back from a week in the lakes I noticed it pulling to the left a little but then it suddenly felt massively heavy; like a truck from the old days, almost climbing it to park etc. I’ve read about wheel alignment etc but had I got power steering I’d be thinking that’s buggered but I think it’s not. Steering box? Just bought a new engine; of course something else had to go! 😂

There's a  possibility one of the idler arms might be siezing up.  Easy to test - just pop the ball joint off the end and see if it's free.
