Default AWD cookies now weird sound coming from steering...HELP

I was playing around and did some AWD cookies/donuts... Now the steering sounds funny like its out of power steering fluid. I checked and its full... It also is inconsistent when turning, its harder to turn left, like theres no power steering. But it feels more normal when turning right, but not like it did before. I just bought this car, please help...
It is also lowered, I wonder if this would make it harder to fix?

ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME!!!

Its a 2000 S4

sounds like steering rack busted. You should also check your drive shafts...
