Default Steering wheel turns, but wheels won't?

Ok, so my steering wheel will turn but my tires won't so no matter how far i turn my steering wheel my tires point straight. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Broken tie rod ends or broken steering rack. Take the wheels off and check it out.

Check where the steering column connects to the rack, make sure both connections are turning.

Using nitrous is like having sex with a hot chick with an STD, you wanna hit it, but your afraid of the consequences.

Hello.

I think this just happened to me today. Is this easily to fix yourself? If so about how much?

Okay, upon examining my problem. I noticed that I was able to turn the right front tire by hand. But, not the left.


What does this mean? I trtried googling but, a bbunch of non relevant stuff came up.
