There is a sensor in the assist unit that detects the difference between steering wheel and column position. A spring-loaded coupling allows for a few degrees of turn either way. It can be felt when cranking the wheel with the engine off.
Hmmm... Stiffening that coupling would decrease the servo response to the faster steering input.
