Hard Steering??

I have a 2006 Lariat 5.4 Super Crew 4X4 and the steering on truck is very hard to turn and does not return to centre without manually doing it. Has anyone experienced this issue or have any recommendations or can solve my problem???
Thanks

*****Thank you for the replies and help. Sprayed u-joints with oil and all is good. ****

the best i can say is check your power steering fluid if its not that it could be the pump itself.... if its not either i have know clue.
