I've had a bad tumbler before, and given what you describe I suspect your tumbler is fine. I think you were right in your original post when you suspected the steering lock. After reading R Leo's post I guess other things are also possible, but the steering lock seems the likely culprit to me.
In any event you will have to remove the tumbler, so I would do as bgkast suggests and test it once it's out. In my case the tumbler didn't work even when it was out so I knew it was bad. Yours will probably be OK. If I were you I wouldn't replace it until it starts to crap out. As you've probably read already, though, don't wait until it absolutely can't move anymore.
Good luck and welcome to the forum!
