I replace the tie rods with grease-able heim joints. I get them from McMaster Carr. You have to thread the rods just a bit more, and cut off some threads so you can get the steering centered, and the toe set. But, they are heavier duty, last longer and grease-able. Not sure it makes it steer easier, but it has to be a little better than a worn out tie rod with a rusty joint. No, I don't have the part number....I'm not going to be that helpful.
Probably a lot of slop in your steering box isn't there?
