Very simply. Inside the steering unit, there is a rod called a rack. It has vertical teeth on it like an upside down handsaw. In the column is a shaft with a gear on the end of it called a pinion. It's similar to the pinion gear in a rear axle. When you turn the wheel, the pinion gear makes the rack move sideways. This gives very precise steering to a car. Need a link to more information?
