Your car mechanic might call it a rack and pinion unit, but ordinary people (if they refer to it at all) normally just call it the steering rack– FumbleFingersJul 31, 2015 at 16:32

As mentioned in a comment, it's "the rack and pinion unit". 
.
- A rack and pinion is commonly found in the steering mechanism of cars or other wheeled, steered vehicles. Rack and pinion provides a less efficient mechanical advantage than other mechanisms such as recirculating ball, but less backlash and greater feedback, or steering "feel". The mechanism may be power-assisted, usually by hydraulic or electrical means. Wikipedia

It looks like that part is a Rack and Pinion unit (sometimes shortened to "rack and pinion" on the sad occasions my mechanic has discussed it with me). Here's a similar picture of a steering system with the parts labeled in English.
