Car has been wobbling and now I have steering problems
Don't drive it until you get this figured out. If you can jack up each wheel, first check all 4 tires for bulging or cracks. They should all be round and run true, no wobbles. Check that wheel nuts are tight on all 4 wheels. Check for top to bottom movement, and side to side, there should be very little movement. Do this by grabbing the tire top and bottom, side to side and rock back and forth. If these things all check out, you may have more serious problems. You didn't say what the symptoms are, so hard to guess. Make sure power steering fluid is topped up, a little hard to do as you have to move the radiator overflow tank out of the way. If you can't do all this yourself, get someone to look at it who knows what they are doing.

Jack up the front wheels and rotate them by hand. Look for any runout that may be cause by a bent wheel. Also feel the tread as you rotate the tire. It should be smooth and concentric. If there are any bulges in the tread the tire is seperated.
Grab the wheel at the top and bottom and push/pull. You should feel no play. If you do you woman have a bad wheel bearing.
In order to check ball joints and tie rods you will need to have the tire off the ground and the jack under the subframe or pinch weld. This will not work if the jack is under the control arm. Grab the tire at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions and push pull. If you feel any play you either hav
E worn ball joints or worn tie rod ends.
