Two reason why your steering wheel is not turning.One....your ignition key is removed and you have turned the steering wheel to LOCK position.Two your front wheels are pinned against an obstacle so your front wheels are blocked.
Wheels are out of balance
If your steering wheel is shaking you probabley messed you wheels or axel up
Many things can cause steering shake. Wheels out of balance. ( including rear wheels ) Tryes out of round. Worn steering components. Worn suspension components. Even loose wheel nuts/bolts. Get it checked out for safetys sake.
What make the steering wheel shake is the tires that need wheel balance.
My guess is you have a tire ply separation going on. Check your front tires.
have front suspension checked
Tires or wheels out of balance?
If the steering wheel turns, but the wheels do not on an automobile, the steering pin is defective. The steering pin connects the wheels to the action of the steering wheel. An automobile that has a steering pin malfunction should not be driven.
The rotation of the steering shaft drives the turning of the wheels, and buses and large trucks have wheels which are significantly more massive than cars' and light trucks', requiring more torque on the steering shaft to turn the wheels. The larger steering wheel gives a mechanical advantage in turning the steering shaft; a longer moment-arm from the application of force by the driver on the steering wheel results in a larger torque on the steering shaft from the same force applied.
Assuming you mean the steering column, it is what transmits the turning of the wheel in your hands to the steering mechanism which moves the wheels that are touching the ground.
