I have driven for years with broken springs schakal whats your point?

Anyway I had a similar problem on my old 1.4 as well. I could turn the wheel so far then let the wheel go and if I was going slow enough it would keep turning until it hit full lock. On my car it was a trackign issue.

The cracking and it may also cause the wheel to stick in position might be a bottom balljoint, dodgy strut bearing or a track rod end. Check them for signs of leakage etc or torn gaiters.
