The steering is active, so it’s uses input from the speed sensor. If the speedometer fails to work it will stop the power assist steering. You car being an import will likely have a speed converter behind the dash, loose connection here on this circuit will be the cause. You tapping probably remade the connection. Also the speed sensor on the gearbox can pop out the end, be loose, simply slowly down and speeding back up it can kick back to life.

right this is my maths.
(rim width/half) to find the wheels centre. then plus or minus the offset to find out where the rear face of the wheel would sit. by that centre line
so.
(rim width/half)+?
then measure the resulting number from the hub face out to the arch and see where it lies..... is that correct?
ie a 245 rim with an offset of -33 would sit 89.9 mm away from the hub face.
:detective:
i think im right its just i cant spell very well and the maths isnt exactly top notch neither.
