what else did you have done that would have required the steering wheel removal
there is no connection between a steering knuckle ( ball joint ) and the steering wheel problems you describe
It sounds to me like you lost your serpentine belt. The alternator stopped charging the battery and there is now not enough power to crank the engine but enough to operate the radio. (The starter requires more power than anything else in your car)
Check the radio fuse. As unusual as it seems, GM has started having the radio (even though not turned on) generate the chimes and turn signal sounds. If the radio fails, all the chimes fail too.
This applies to other vehicles besides the HHR. My 2003 Silverado had the door chimes fade down so I could barely hear them. The fix was to replace the radio (under warranty, fortunately...).
