Hard steering/doesn't self correct???

My '94 just started doing this. When I turn, and if I don't bring the wheel back myself, it will keep going in the turned position. It used to self correct(?) itself, meaning it would straighten out by itself - or at least mostly. Now it Feels like I'm wrestling, well, a bronco! Power steering fluid level is fine. It seems to be tighter than usual as well. Where do I start???

have you checked the universal joint on the steering shaft under the hood. maybe it is starting to rust or needs to be lubricated.
your ball joints could need to be greased or any other front end part that moves when turning. you didnt adjust the steering box have you. do you have the correct fluid in the power steering pump?
