If car has speed sensitive steering then there is module for it. I'd start from the basics being grounds, powers and fuses. If there is no electric connector on on the steering rack I'd suspect all rusty lower steering shaft U joint. It could be it with adaptive steering too. Mine is rusty and steering becomes angular and stiff unless I grease it in regular basis.
