It depends on how you define hard to steer. If you mean it requires excessive effort, I would look for a seized, broken or otherwise malfunctioning Power Steering pump. In the 85, it is just underneath the alternator. If by hard to steer you mean hard to keep control, you almost definitely have a suspension problem. Either way, unless you know exactly what you are doing, a professional should do these kinds of repairs
Apply the brakes hard and steer out of danger.
Hit the gas pedal hard and try to steer out of the area safely
Could be several things. Hard to steer makes me think of failed power steering or flat tires, while rattling suspension is more likely due a failed joint in the steering linkage or a worn out bushing in the suspension. One really has to get in underneath the car and have a look.

It'll be hard to steer a car. The steering wheel will be tough to steer.
Poor alignment.
It may be out of power steering fluid
If Your steering has gotten difficult it is likely that you need to add power steering fluid. If that is not it then your power steering pump might be going out.
the steering pump belt is loose and needs to be tightened up. hope this helps.
because they are weird like that
it's because the axel is rusty
Hi...My Xterra was very heavy to steer....I put on new tires and aligned it and it is perfect now.
