I can't comment on the amount of feedback you're experiencing, I don't get that sensation in mine. I do, however, agree with the "heavy steering" comment, but I somewhat expect it in an AWD.
You didn't mention if yours was a V8 - if not a V8 (and thereby not AWD) then I suspect you could get yours to feel freer by the actions you described. The firm steering in an AWD has always been what I expected since my first experience with an AWD V8 Explorer back in the day (mid 90s).
I remember reading a post on here a while back about someone who did a full synthetic fluid swap in the front diff (and maybe the PS pump too) and he said it helped his feedback and eliminated the minor "binding" us AWDers (V8 4x4ers) can get sometimes in tight turning situations. I just always attributed that to the tires and the fact that it is a 40/60 AWD...I haven't addressed mine as it isn't that bad IMO.
