steering wheel clunk

I can feel a clunk through the steering wheel as if the spiral cable is moving side to side inside the column. Is this normal? This happens when I move the steering wheel.

Doesn't sound normal.
The steering should be quiet.
Clunk is hard to associate with a cable, rather with a steering rack or tie rod end issues.
Have it checked as soon as you can. Steering is critical for safety.

At least in the states, there is a recall out on the spiral cable. Could be that: http://repairpal.com/recall/14V168000

If you had the spiral cable replaced, it could have been done improperly.
