Strange steering feel

Hey guys,

About two weeks ago the steering on my 2016 FR-S started to feel really loose and sloppy. It feels like I have to turn the wheel a lot more than before to make turns and there seems to be noticeably more body roll in corners. The car doesn't pull to any side.

The car has 27k miles, I bought it at 25.5k CPO and it felt tight as a drum until recently. Car is bone stock. I brought it to Toyota yesterday but they said "the tech drove it at it felt normal to him," but it definitely feels bad to me. It also feels like the ride is mushier/softer than before. I used to feel every little thing on the road (which I liked) and now it feels like a Lexus floating over everything. Tires are Nokian entyre 225s with plenty of tread left - they came with the car.

I'm bringing the car back next week when their more experience tech is in, but in the meantime I'm looking for possible answers. Does anyone have any ideas for what might be the problem here? Thanks everyone.
