If you cannot turn the front wheels and the steering wheel was vibrating before then (since I assume that the car is undrivable now), then your car most likely has broken/damaged tie rod: check if the front wheels wobbles.
A less common problem is the actual steering/wheel rack-pinion gearing mechansim is broken and it is indicated by not being able to move both the front wheels together.
In both case, you need specialist repair.
Hope it helps.

Steering wheel vibrating really bad all the sudden

you have an issue with a front tire more than likely. or could be the front rotor. I would bet my last breath its' tire or break/rotor related. Maybe even a wheel bearing but it usually doesn't cause vibration in steering wheel.

Steering wheel vibrates really bad ,,,then it stops for a while then it starts again,,bad vibrations,,plus wen i turn right theres bangin noises from right

check your wheel bearings. jack up the car and see if there is play when you move the wheel by grabbing the bottom and top of the tire a rock back and forth. there should be no play. the tire should rotate smoothly as well.

My steering wheel is hsaking and vibrating really

You need to jack up the car and check that wheel right away. You may have a bad bearing and/or spindle. A front end problem like this is very dangerous so please check or have checked asap. The car should not be driven till this problem is repaired. The axle joint may be causing the clicking or the bearing. But if it looks as if the wheel could fall off don't drive it to a repair shop if you are not repairing have it towed.

Vibration in the steering wheel on a 4wd truck

I just had the same issue with a 1999 2500HD and the vibration got worse above 50 mph. Problem was resolved with a new driveshaft. Old one (aluminum) was badly out of true and the problem didn't really occur until I had the U joints changed - then bent driveshaft vibration was noticeable. New driveshaft resolved issue.

Steering Wheels Problem

There could be a lot of reason for vibrations on your steering, One reason could be is that your wheels need to be balanced. Car tires, can go out of shape and the farther the tire shape becomes from a circular shape the more vibrations you may encounter. Another is bad bushings, ball joints or tie rods especially when you turn and in some cases these problem can be tested by moving the wheel laterally as if trying to turn it by hand on the outside. Some cases it could be bad shocks.
