I was driving down road and front left tire came off including all six lug nuts.
Put in six new studs and bought new lug nuts.
Two days later I was driving and my steering wheel was very stiff.
I thought maybe fluid level was low but was fine. There is no whine or sounds from power steering system.
I was wondering if something happened from when my tire fell off to cause it to have no power steering.
My truck has a lift on it and I have 315 75R 16 tires.
Please help me.

Good afternoon.

In most cases it is the power steering pump. See if you can see the fluid moving around in the tank for the fluid.

No, I do not think the two incidents are related.
