So I was putting in my fog lights and when i was putting the bumper back on i wanted to turn the wheel so i can reach the bolts easier. Well anyways while turning the wheel i heard a pop all of a sudden and now the steering wheel turns but the wheels dont at all. Im thinking its the rack and pinion but not sure was wondering if someone can let me know exactly what it is.

How the hell did this pass inspection?  
Jack it up and move the tires see what moves and what don’t.

Can you actually see the connection of the steering shaft to the rack? Is it still connected?

it could be anywhere between the steering wheel and the u joint that connects to the rack (assuming tie rods and rack are still intact)
