The simple explaination is there are gears at the bottom of the shaft which turn other gears in the steering box which move an arm which moves a series of linkages attached to the front wheels. In a rack & pinion, instead of gears in a box there are hydraulics that move tie rods connected to the wheels

Does a ps3 steering wheel work with any car game?

NO, it does not! I have a G25 racing wheel and it does not work with ANY of the NASCAR racing games. You would think SONY would have an update for PS3 to recognize all Logitech steering wheels as just another gamepad so it could be an optional controller for all games. They did it with the Blue Ray remote, why not the steering wheels? Here is a link to steering wheel supported PS3 games. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/gaming/wheels/g27-racing-wheel

What would cause your wheels not to turn when steering wheel moves on a 1998 Pontiac sunfire front wheel drive?

it depends on what you mean by not to turn. side to side or move forward backwards.(stall) if you driving and when you turn the steering wheel the vehicle stops moving then the problem may be your cv axles some how disconecting from the transaxle. if you mean you turn the steering wheel and the wheels don't do anything then your rack and pinion is bad,or your steering column or u joints are loose/disconected. also check where the column and rack interlock sometimes that screw strips and the steering wheel turns but it would not transfer the motion to the rack. how does the steering wheel feels. same,loose,keeps turning endlessly?
