Reason for my question, I was always taught not to turn the steering wheel when stationary as it puts a lot of strain on the steering components and can damage what is beneath the wheels.
I'm trying to gauge how much of the steering resistance of our cars with the engine off
is due to contact with road and steering components but not including power steering components.

I seem to recall our Ford Escort Hatchback and Orion were heavy as neither had power steering
