Try bleeding it again. Have you checked the obvious like tyre pressures, siezed track rod ends, siezed u/j on column. Try disconnecting track rod ends and see how it feels then, If its still heavy its either the pump or rack. The pump usualy gets noisey when its on its way out and the rack tends to get lighter. Has the vehicle been kerbed? that can damage rack and make it feel heavier. Hope this helps you.
