pull the cover under the dash, you'll see the grey boot on the inside leading to the bottom of the column, pull the boot down and see if that side broke or fell off. falling off is kinda hard unless the bolt is missing. from that point is a solid shaft as far as i can tell.

if all thats intact the rack might have just blown out. you could pop the shaft off the rack and see if the nub there turns freely on the rack.
