You could try adjusting it, by loosening locknut and turning screw clockwise a half turn or so and see if that helps. This adjustment is only done with wheels in straight forward position, and you can go too tight so don't lay into it. If the half turn helps, you can try a little more, but when it starts binding, it's time to stop. Sounds like it was rebuilt and hardly used at all?
I agree here. My Charger has a rebuilt unit from Firm Feel. It has loosened up a little over the years, so I adjusted it as described above. It made the difference.

If you adjust it too tight, the steering will not return back to straight ahead by itself. BTDT.
