sounds like you snapped a lower ball joint... you might have to replace the entire lower control arm depending on the design of your suspension

Ball join, tie rods, the rim it'self. God knows. But the control arm is what you should worry about. If your car is getting that much play while steering, then definitly control arm. Prolly snapped the SOB in half!
