A very simple and incomplete explanation. You have an electrical or hydraulic steering rack that spans your vehicle just behind the wheels behind your engine and close to the bottom. It connects to each wheel with a tie rod that has a ball joint on the end (not to be confused with your actual ball joints that are part of your control arms). When you turn your steering wheel it moves the tie rods to steer the car. Steering doesn't really have anything to do with the CV Joints or power to your wheels, it is a separate system.

This is one of the things CV joints do well: they can handle not just moving up and down, but also the wheel turning left/right. This thing is a bunch of gears and seems to handle only wheels moving up and down and not turning.
