    More likely a broken axle shaft, u-joint in the steering knuckles, or something in one of the planetary hubs. If the right side tries to turn (limited slip with worn out clutch disks) then it's probably something busted on the left end. If it was a bad ring and pinion usually they're extra crunchy loud noisy in my experience. YMMV
