First let me start off by saying this is my first post. I was involved in a fender bender. When I drove away I heard clicking and my brakes would go to the floor. I figured that my brakes were finished and needed repair. So I drove it home. I backed in and left it for a couple days. I had another vechile so I decided not to fix it right away. I needed to fix my parking job to fit another car next to me. As I was reversing I noticed the steering wheel was locked up. I was unable to straighten the tires out. I called a friend of a friend and he came out while I was at work and fixed the problem. The guy is no longer reachable so I don't know what he did. I heard that he took my front driver side tire off and banged against something and fixed the problem. The wheels now turn. I purchased brake pads, rotors and calipers and I'm worried when I take it to a shop to have them install them it will be a problem that will cost more money than I have to fix. evidently something isn't right and to avoid further damage to the vehicle I should get it fixed. I have about a grand saved up for this but i would like to save every penny i can. I am unsure of the problem that caused the wheels to lock up. I don't know much about cars but Winters coming up and I will be in desperate need of 4wd. If anybody could drop some knowledge on what they think the problem is and a guess as to the cost of the repair it would be greatly appreciated.

Your steering locked up or your brakes locked up? If its your brakes, then your abs probably is causing it to lock up. If its your steering then I can't help you

It was the steering.
