Default 95 Civic STEERING PROBLEM!!!

Well i was drifting my 4dr down a road that was under cunstruction a few weeks ago. So I took a hard right on the wide road pulled the e-brake slide sideways then stoped as soon as I start to turn left from the stand still I hear a clunk noise and my wheel alignment was crooked. I knew I broke somthing but I didnt think it was that severe. After all this as i start making right turns I hear a clunk everytime then when I straightin the wheel it gets stuck and I have to force it over. After riding like this for 2 weeks its goten way worse. Now when I try to make a right turn it will turn the wheels very little bit but then it wont turn and it will start to click as I try to turn the wheel. It wont turn the wheels But the steering wheel keeps turning. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if so WHAT THE HECK IS IT.

I'm not even going to comment on your driving.

Ever think of taking it to the dealership? Common sense, right?

I thought about it but its about 20 miles from were I live and I dont think ill make it there alive, lol. But im going to see if I try to go by with the car since I work by it, the company truck will just have to take a break. Well I had a thought about it being the steering colum was striped but its would turn left if it was. I dont know the syptoms of a rack and pinion going bad, unless when it goes bad it locks up. Any sugestion will be great.

Hrm, Check your steering components? Get your wheels balanced, and it might just be something lodged up in your steering system

Did you check the nut behind the wheel? I would't drive it like that AT ALL if I were you. I'm guessing you have a screwed up steering rack now, and a crash in your near future if you keep driving it.
