Make sure the two halves of the steering shaft are perfectly aligned. Any 
misalignment will cause binding. The coupler thing must slide from one half 
to the other with no movement of either shaft. The bolts on the unit side 
and steering wheel side can be loosened to adjust the shafts and then 
tightened when the shafts are aligned.
