My 2002 Plus 8 is light enough when on the move but heavy when parking.
It's got damper blades not bearing set-up.
I don't have any problems with it but will upgrade to bearings when kingpins need changing.
My 1993 4/4 was the same essentially regarding weight of steering with a steering box but nimbler on bends as it had narrower tyres. It was fun keeping up with plus 8's on winding roads!
