s13 I done broke my steering.

So I was out playing in the snow and hit a really icy spot and 180'd into a 90 degree curb. I checked everything under my car and could not see any bent or broken parts. Now here is my dilemma, when I'm driving straight and i turn the wheel right it clicks to a full 90 degrees and my wheels hardly turn at all. I haven't had a chance to drive it on dry roads yet, but I had my buddy drive it and I drove behind him and the wheels hardly turn but I can tell when it clicks over.

89' s13 ka24de power steering rack not hooked up to the pump though.

Any ideas on where to start or what may have broken would be fantastic, thanks in advance.

Most likely you bent a tie rod or a tension rod..it's hard for us to help though without pictures or seeing it in person though.

+1 to inner tie rod. Go to a parking garage, jack up the car and look again. Move the steering wheel and look if that helps, but it should be apparent. Oh how fun winter snow drifting is, I've been around plenty of friends who bend control arms and tie rods around this time of year. Good luck!
