Default Very light sensitive steering

Hi
My 221 (120 estate) has suffered from overlight steering for some time- making it feel dangerous over .45mph. we have changed joints, steering box, rear axle (twice) and tried many tyre combinations and increased caster to attempt a remedy. The settings are as listed- could the difference in caster cause this ( the upper wishbone bolt has seized) light steering?
