Unless the steering goes out at the same time, one should be able to avoid a house.
Better not work on the steering system, throttle, drive line, body or anything else for that matter. A fender or steering linkage may fall off harming someone, if the drive shaft fails it could project a part and hit an innocent bystander, if the throttle sticks, if the tailgate falls off, if the bumper should fall off, or the door handle, etc. etc. etc. I guess the only way is to hire a bonded and insured mechanic shop to work on anything so the burden goes to them.
