What are all the parts called that make up the steering of a bicycle. Give me a list of all the parts you need and what their purpose is. Also, how I measure my old pieces to know what size to get that would properly replace them. Thanks
Also, What is the order that they go on.

There are a lot of different pieces. The parts that go into your frame itself is called the Headset. The Headset consists of two cups (upper and lower), a race on the fork and two “nuts” an adjustable and lock nut. Some headsets run on loose ball bearings while some ride on sealed bearings. To measure your headset you need a set of calipers. 1″ head sets come in two sizes 28.6mm and 30.2mm. It is just best to take your bike to your local bike shop so they can measure it for you. The handlebars where you grab the bike are connected to the stem which is attached to the inside of the fork which runs through your frame. Hope this helps.
Try these sites, it will depend on the headset.
