Car problem, fuck snow.

So today my car swerved, I was too close to the curb and my right front wheel hit it. I parked and went outside to check the damage, the body is fine it was just the wheel. When I started driving it the car was just so shaky and it wouldn't really go in the direction I want it to, it would kind of zig zag. Also, for the wheels to be in a straight forward position, the steering wheel would have to be turned 180 degrees. Anyone know what are the possible thing(s) I broke?

Gonna have to take it in to the shop.
You also could have bent the wheel. In that case you have to buy a new one - try a salvage yard before purchasing a brand new one from a tire shop.
Either way, you MUST take this in to a shop. Find someone who will give you a free estimate, then once you know whats wrong, you can call around and price it out and find the best deal to get it fixed.
Best of luck.
No. You should absolutely not drive it to the shop.
This is a serious problem, call a tow truck.
If you have AAA call the tow truck through them and it will be relatively cheap (of free depending on your membership)
One time, a friend of mind was stuck somewhere without AAA.
She called them for a tow, instead of paying, they let her sign up right then and there, and then processed the tow and got it for free [ since the car shop was within 5 miles of where the car took a dump, after 5 miles the towtrunk driver charges ]
