Question Looking for a helping hand

This is going to be a little hard to explain. there is somthing wrong with my steering, well kind of. the car seems to be turning fine but i have some give to the steering wheel. the wheel will turn about 2 or 3 inches before turning the car but if i let the wheel go it will not move back thoughs inches. almost like it is not greased or somthing. i can also here the horn scrapping against the steering wheel like there is no space between the steering wheel and the horn button. i am very sorry the explaination is kind of well the ***** but i really hope somone may have had it happen to the and will understand what i am talking about. this just started to happen somwhat out of the blue but it is very possible that i my have hit a pot hole, after all i am from PEI canada and i think it is one of the things we are known for. hahahaha

Well, as for the scraping sound that is probably the horn contact button scraping on the contact ring because it wants to be lubed with some silicone dielectric grease.

The wheel on my old 85 base would stay to the right so one day I decided to check fluid level and there wasn't any! haha. Filled it up and BING would return to center but of course it still had some slop, any good SA/FB does
