Jim,
I assume your lady will drive the car and turning force at the steering wheel is quite high.

How about a 16" steeering wheel?
That reduces the needed power to turn the wheel dramatically depending on the current diameter.
Also you MAY reduce caster to let the wheels turn more easily.

Also make sure you are currently not using a power steering unit w/o power assistance. Those usually feature a different ratio than the manual units giving higher turning forces.
