how can i fix hard steering on ford iveco truck?

thank you cdc for that helpful information . I am now thinking of replacing the two , the pump and the steering box . is it possible to fit a steering rack in place of a box

The Ivecos I have encountered all had racks,yours having a steering box is different,it is hard to determine your next step,when the wheels are jacked up and they turn ok suggests all your balljoints,king pins etc are ok and there is no load on the wheels.The few vans I have encountered like this ended up being the pump or rack/box even though there are no leaks and no other fault visible. Good luck.

king pin siezed,king pin thrust bearings siezed or disintregrated. i'm guessing its a eurocargo?

No P.A.S fluid in reservoir,defective pump/rack,steering column joints seized,tight balljoints
