Check your power steering fluid level and belt.

How many miles on car? Have you checked anything? Is the car not responding to steering inputs or just not giving you good feedback?

Check your struts/shocks to see if any of them are blown. Check your sway bar end links and check for trashed bushings on mounting points.

I would say check for unusual play in wheels.
Could be a broken or bad inner or outter tie rod

Check your tire pressure first.

Go to the showroom and see what is on a new Evo X. Then go buy that tire.
