Power Steering Problem:

Was doing donuts in my 04 CLK55, and now it seems that there is no power steering while the car is not moving. When the car is moving it steers ok, but when at a stand still, it is almost impossible to turn the wheel.
Any clue as to what I could have done or broken? I can't really think of anything being broken after doing donuts, and there are no leaks. Could the computer just freaked out?
I'm going to take it in to the dealer, but was just curious and feeling really bad for my car right now. Any advise is appreciated.

I would advise you NOT to mention the word "donuts" when dropping the car off at the dealer. I don't think they'll cover the work under the warrantee if abuse is suspected.
