    Steering issue total loss of road feel

    Sorry I haven't been here in a while.. bought a horse six months ago :)

    So, went home tonight and realized myou steering felt completely different. All road feel is gone, at all speeds. Previously, I always had tons of road feel at all speeds (one of many things I love about this car). But no matter what speed, wheel felt like an arcade steering wheel. After reading up, I've realized perhaps something is wrong... any help would be appreciated.
    05 B6 S4 - "Hans" -DD, Black, 6 spd, Costco towel anti-carpenter seat protector, PO-Deleted mufflers, 034 snub, otherwise Stock until paid off.
    95 Ford F250 Service truck 5 speed 2wd "Bertha", 5.8 w/cone intake, racing wires, HE coil, 3" cherrybomb, 300k+ miles still works hard
    S4 - Let's shove a v8 in a car the size of a Sentra, make it AWD and give it a 6 speed. Because we are Audi.

    maybe it's related to the servotronic system(variable assistance steering) , where the power steering lowers its assistance with at speed, giving a better feel.

    if your servotronic module/relay is bad and "stuck" on low-speed mode, your steering will be over-assisted at all speeds.

    If this module is the aluminum cylinder in front of the brake booster, mine does not have it... however, this has not.happened again since that night.
