Default Stiff Steering

Hi Guys

I have just bolted all my steering together and found that it is stiff to turn if i grab one of the front wheels, but not to bad if i use the steering wheel.

Is this normal?????

Thats because you have a 'rack and pinion' steering rack and it is ment to work that way. If the front wheels could turn the steering wheel easily it would make driving the car difficult as you would be fighting the wheel.
