The answer to all our secrets

When Commercial style Aircraft steer during taxiing, what parts of the actual Aircraft are used to carry it out?
I always notice the actual nosewheel turning, but was wondering whether using left or right engine thrust and the rudder assists.
Also on a recent flight I was on (A320) I noticed the Aileron being raised on a wing (depending on the direction turned).
