Default Heavy power steering

steering on my 3 door seems very heavy, even while driving. have plenty of flid, bled it no leaks or worn suspension parts, bearings on pump seem ok, any ideas such as wouls a new pump or rack sort it?

agree with rab, i think the older cossies just naturally have far heavier steering than modern runners
