Steering rack? Or do you mean the rod that connects the wheel to the steering rack? Oh, and the wheels don't turn at the same angle. The wheel innermost to the bend will turn at more of an angle than the one at the outside of the bend because of the difference in radius of the arcs the two sides of the car are following. If you see what I mean.
From the hub inwards, track rod end then  tie bar or track rod then steering rack or sreering box.
this is a quiz question I think, you should look at the answer to the next question and think similar sounding names
One that has been missed is a drag link if the vehicle has a steering box. (im a parts man lol). Btw before the steering box and after the tie rod theres also the panhard rod.
you a refering to the steering rack. when you say turn the same angle they done in inner wheel has more angle than the outer wheel this is known as the akermans angle.
