I hit a very large rock in the middle of the highway last August. Since then, my steering has not felt the same. Specifically, it feels like there is no longer any difference between +R and Sport when travelling at normal speeds, and zero difference between any of the three modes when crawling at low speed. I know that we have variable EPS, but I could've sworn that +R was stiffer even at 5 mph. Is there a diagnostic method to test the relative steering stiffness of each mode? My suspension apparently checks out, but I'm worried that my EPS or steering rack may be damaged somehow.
