It's called the "Rack and Pinion".
Behind each tire you'll see a tie rod that connects to a 2-3 foot long 2-3 inch in diameter tube with Accordion like boots on each end. The tube with the boots is the "Rack and Pinion" assembly. At the top of the R&P you'll see where the steering attaches. A more simplistic answer is that the wheels are connected together by the axles

I believe your referring to a tie rod, which is a steering component. There is an inner tie rod and an outer tie rod. The inner tie rod connects to the steering rack which is what is used to turn your wheels left or right. The outer tie rod connects to the inner tie rod and also to the steering knuckle. If you've got a newer 300 series car, chances are your gonna have them replaced because there are some problems with tie rods on these cars. A TIE rod connects the steering to the wheel.
