How does steering work for cars?

I know that it’s something that involves the differential, though as a car guy I feel a bit ashamed that I don’t know how it works

It doesn’t have anything to do with the differential.

A car either has a steering rack & pinion or a steering box.

When the wheel is turned, either one in essence pushes the tie rods, which in turn pivot the wheels left or right.

The differential allows the outer wheel to spin faster than the inner wheel while turning or going around a curve.
