Hi, you have to get the front left wheel removed for a better inspection to see what the problem is sooner rather than later.

Knocks when you turn, steering column jerks

Hi there - S Wilkins here.
Could be a front hub bearing or axle CV joint.
You may be able to raise the front wheels and move them around and find what is loose.

Makes a loud steering noise in rear of car when makes a sharp hard turn to the left, what could this be?

Sounds like a right wheel bearing. You should be able to jack up the right side and do one of two things. Shake the wheel and see if the bearing is sloppy or rotate the wheel by habd and see if you can hear the bearing making noise. They are pretty common on these vehicles.

Wheels will not turn when steering wheels are turned

Pretty doubtful it is your steering column. When all the junk around it is stripped away, it is a simple steel shaft that connects the steering wheel to the steering box.
You can do what no one online can do for you...Have someone turn the wheel and look at what is moving and what is not. Likely it's something major like the steering box or the chassis where the box is mounted that has failed. Whatever it turns out to be, it's likely to be obviously broken. (easier to find than a squeak or slight noise.
When you find it, ask if you need help with the repair procedure!!!
Good luck!!
