steering feels tight
So I got sick of my after market steering wheel being lop sided. So I took it off and put it on straight. Now the steering is very tight. It take unreasonable force to turn it. It's still drivable but just a pain in the a$$. (or arm really
 )Anyway I took it back off and inspected everything and it all looks good. I was very careful to make sure everything went back together properly. And still same problem. Am i just  ??? HELP!

Re: steering feels tight
An after-market 'wheel has an "adapter" of some kind to mount it. I would check for clearence around it. You may have to take the 'wheel back off to do it though.

Re: steering feels tight
Well the belt and fluid are fine. It is tilt steering though. How do I get to the bearing collar? And what makes it bend? to much torque tightening the wheel?
I have looked to see about taking apart the steering column but it seems like there is no way in??
