There is a "clock spring" in the steering hub assembly that is used to power air bag in the steering whell (if it has them. If you spin the wheel aimlessly with steering box disconnect4ed you can damage the clock spring. You can turn it some (a turn or so each way) but you need to return it to the relative postion it was in in relation to steering box when you reconnect it.
