Default Clb install need help!!!!plz....

Hi guys,
I just installed the clb, but I am not sure if I did it right or not.
Now, I didnt hear the column locking/unlocking.but when the install
guide says "I will be able to turn the sterring wheel freely". I am not able to do it. I can only turn the sterring wheel to a certain angle, and the wheels don't follow my turns. Is it normal?thanks

If it's not locking like it used too I imagine you did it right. I Haven't installed one yet though, so I can't say for sure.

I have to steer it hard to make the wheels turn. Is it normal? Is it because of the power steering wheel?

Did you have the engine running when you were trying to turn the wheel? The engine has to be running for the power steering to work.

IF the column was locked, you would not be able to turn it at all.
If the column stayed unlocked and the fuel does not try to shutoff when you drive the car, you must have it installed correctly.
