Assuming the ball joints are installed with the correct orientation (failure to do so could result in hard steering) and the idler arm isn't binding you have tire pressure-keep on the high side obviously-and caster and camber to play with--keep them at a minimum--at the expense of straight ahead stability and self centering after turning. Do the wheels you're using have the correct offset?
