Disconnected steering feel, inconsistent effort. Is this a normal sound? (video)

[hypersss]

For a few months now the steering feel seems off, the steering load is inconsistent like it fluctuates slightly from moment-to-moment, and doesn't inspire confidence at highway speeds. I thought maybe it was just the winter tires, but I've just put the PS4S back on and it still doesn't feel right to me.

FWIW I got the steering recall done a month ago. It did seem to fix a "sticking" sensation I had started to experience when adjusting the steering in the middle of steady curve like an on-ramp. However I couldn't say for sure if it had an impact on the steering feeling off more broadly.

Also noticed today that if I wiggle the steering wheel when stopped I hear a thunk sound, do other people hear this on their car?

Hmmm. Weird. Something might be off from the recall fix?

I noticed the same exact sound on my car a few weeks ago, after the steering recall was done. However, I can't say for sure if the sound was present before the recall.
I don't notice any change in steering feel like you mentioned, just that "thunk" sound when I wiggle the wheel back and forth.
