I'm curious...does our steering on this car "learn" or anything like that? I think I remember reading a thread that since it's electric PS, that it has a sensor to know when to compensate for left and right wheels, that's how it knows to give the steering feedback a "real feel". I ask because I took the car out on a dirt road that has some nice long curves and gave it a little bit of hell, kicking out the rear end, etc...the usual fun business. After all of that back and forth steering wheel action...when I came back out onto the pavement and started driving away, the "weighted" steering feel was back again and no more disconnected/loose feeling.

I do remember a few days ago that the disconnected/loose feeling came after hitting a decent size bump. It wasn't a killer enough one to destroy an alignment but it was big enough to make a lowered car "BUMP" a little bit. Was the steering feel trying to compensate itself after something like that? Like I said, I'm not making this up or trying to troll. It's really weird and I've never once had a car that feels like this when it comes to steering/road feedback
