Additionally, a day ago I drove over ice while turning and skidded off the street onto a lower area, and the front left wheel had visible damage as a result. It felt like a crash, but I drove out and went on my way. Too much snow to see if I hit anything. A portion of the tire bulges out
at the side of the tire now, and the rim is dented in the same spot. No repair was made. Turning the steering wheel to its extreme clockwise makes a squeeling sound and causes the car's front left wheel to turn quickly and mildly in different directions until the steering is returned from the extreme. It seems to do this same thing but to a lesser extent when driving straight and forward. No known leaks, although I have not thoroughly inspected under the hood. I haven't been to a mechanic. The catalytic converter was stolen before I first bought the vehicle, I replaced it with a new one months later but the pipes were not sealed together to contain all exhaust fumes. No check engine light appears now, even after the main incident mentioned above had occurred.
I can idle, drive around, turn the car on like normal with no problem otherwise.
