Question Is this normal?

When i back up and turn my steering wheel while backing up, it seems as if it tightens up to the point you cant turn it anymore. Its not completly turned like normal to where it wont turn anymore its like gets where its stuck way before its normal time.

It should turn the same amount forward or back,have you check your balljoints to see if they are binding?
