Hi lor_jesse,

The spindle is splined and even without the central nut, it should not turn freely. Are the splines worn off?

While turning the steering wheel, watch if the spindle is turning. If yes, check the lower U couplings, it they sre not properly secured, it would turn freely. If you have SRS, turning the steering wheel freely too much would damage the wire reel.
