Have you noticed a difference over time or is this the way it has always felt?

If there is no free play with the wheels straight ahead, then I would leave it alone. If the steering box is made too tight, it can wear itself out.

Test it with the car stopped and the wheels straight ahead. If there is minimal play, then it should be allright.
