Subject:steering question

Now that I've got Billy Bones up and running (more
than a hundred miles today with no problems), I
need to address another issue that I had almost
forgotten about.

When I bought this van, it steered sort of
strangely. When you come around a corner it does
not straighten up on its own.  Instead, it will
continue to stay turned and it is stiff.  I had
the van aligned (all four wheels - I stood
there and watched).  So a new alignment did
not solve the problem.  What's worn out or
damaged under there that's causing this problem?

The power steering pump leaks a little bit,
but the reservoir is full of fluid and the belt
is tight.

Thanks,

Warren Lail
