   power steering disconnected somehow. maybe the continuim transfunctioner has blown the flux capacitor.
   
   on a serious note maybe something to do with power steering

   might just be a complete coincidence mate, you put the steering wheel on to tight maybe ??? could be rubbing a bit which is causing it to be heavier

   might be that it's not tight enough then and possibly slipping a bit causing the wheels not to turn at the same rate?? you wanna be careful, don't wanna go round a corner and the wheel fall off you then you can't turn on go through a hedge haha not fun mate.

   how did you go about taking the wheel off first
   
   did you drop the coloum down by undoing 3 bolts so you could remove the plastic surround around the dials??

    no but you may have messed around with the clip or pinch bolt at the bottom of the coloumn where it connects to the steering rack
    
    check that bit and check that the wheel is infact pushed all the way on, did you take the airbag ring sensor off??
