Exclamation Urgent: A problem with an 80% loss of steering on my EB.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section but it is of quite a bit of urgency.

Driving home last night on the Moorooduc highway, it comes to a roundabout where the peninsula lounge is, there is an abandoned railway track that goes across the road. Long story short, I go over the railway track (It's a bit of a dip in the road) at 40 km/h and as I try to turn around the round about, I practically have lost 80% of my steering

The wheel turns only about 90 degrees each way then locks and won't go any further. My car has been absolutely fine until I hit that railway track. There was no snapping sound or any weird noises after driving over it, and the car drives in a straight line perfectly fine.

So now I cannot turn sharp corners without mounting the gutter, and I barely made it home.

If anyone can draw on their wisdom or previous experiences and give me some information on what it might be, I would be incredibly grateful!

I really hope whatever has gone wrong, won't burn my wallet

Thanks guys,
Nate.
