Hi,
I need to confirm something. Does the right front tire no longer turn left and right or does it no longer spin?
If you mean it doesn't steer, then it's likely that a tie rod has broken. I attached a pic below of both an inner and outer tie rod. Take a look at the pic and then check to see if something has broken on the vehicle and let me know what you find.
I will watch for your reply. Also, please take a picture of what has happened so I know what we are dealing with.
Take care,
Joe
