Years ago I had this happen to a 911 I bought, it had a steering shaft u-joint incorrectly installed and caused it to occasionally catch and bind on the surrounding sheet metal, it felt just like a steering lock when trying to unwind the wheel. Ended up the intermediate steering shaft was only inserted about .5” into one of the ujoints and not fully inserted to where the bolt indexes on the flat machined into the shaft. *Every* system on that car was assembled with a similar lack of integrity. Having the steering lock scared the hell out of me not to mention the safety issue of not having the shaft correctly assembled.
