the car is a 90 integra without power steering. it was gonna get parked in the driveway then sounded like something snapped as the steering wheel was turning. now the steering wheels spins freely. what could have broke?

 

does the front wheels move while turnin the steering wheel,or stay in place

 

the wheels stay in place

 

Hmmmm, I dunno...I'm no detective, but it sounds like you broke #7 or #9.

 

rack and pinion?

 

#9 is the part that broke. What's that part called?

Thanks for the help too.

 

Sounds like the spline on the column rounded out.
