  Move the pivot point for the swing-arm closer to the pitman. This will
necessitate greater pedal movement for the same amount of rack movement, but
there is usually more than enough room. 
   Also, as Keith said, the bushing that the pitman runs through can easily
cause a lot of drag from the lateral pressure.
Good luck,
