Steering wheel turns 360 degrees

[2001 Honda Civic LX] So I noticed today after swapping out the steering wheel for an aftermarket one. The steering wheel now turns 360 degrees 😭 it did not do this before I swapped. Power steering fluid is good I filled it today. Please help

Is the wheel still straight when driving straight? There is no way replacing the steering wheel would make the steering column rotate more, unless the wheel is slipping on the column.

Here I thought steering wheels usually go about 3 1/2 turns lock to lock.. so if yours “only” goes 360 there is a problem.

yea that’s what’s happening, it’s slipping on the column so I’m able turn the wheel all the way around without actually turning the tires
