Default car wont steer all the way

Now, a few weeks ago my axles broke. I figured I would just take them out and replace them... but the nuts were stuck on. (I was going to do a swap anyway...) So, I just popped the axles out with my prybar and took the motor out. So I figured I would be able to steer now that the axles are free from the motor. wrong. I have no idea what could be wrong.. any help is appreciated.

well first get an air gun or a big as pipe and get those axles nuts off of there. just get like a 5ft pipe on the end of a rachet and go to town. Also, need more info, is your steering wheel turning, are the tie rods or wheels moving when you turn the steering wheel

I dont think the axles are a problem right now because they are only connected to the hub.

The steering wheel only turns right. The right wheel turns all the way to the right but the left wheel doesnt turn all the way with the right wheel.

so now you narrowed it down to a bad rack, or inner/outter tie rod ends. or unless your wrecked it and bent the **** outta something. Take your tie rod end off from the control arm and push and pull see if it gives. if it does, then see if its the inner or outter
