"Steering control" means the part directly operated by the driver in order to steer the vehicle.
Par «commande» on entend la pièce directement actionnée par le conducteur pour diriger le véhicule.
Hitler had no choice, therefore, but to steer an uncomfortable course between a party revolution which he could by no means fully control and the support of the army and business which he could by no means do without.
Hitler en était donc réduit à louvoyer entre une révolution des militants, qu'il ne pouvait contrôler entièrement, et le soutien de l'armée et des milieux d'affaires, dont il ne pouvait en aucun cas se passer.

It was quite right of you, though; women chatter sometimes, and it is a thousand times better for the men to steer the ship alone."
D’ailleurs, tu as bien fait, les femmes sont bavardes quelquefois, et il vaut cent fois mieux que les hommes conduisent la barque tout seuls.»

We did not know what it meant but we felt an obscure respect for the power of this "ism," which had just brought down the country's top man and compelled our teachers to steer clear of certain passages in our textbooks.
Nous n'en savions pas la signification mais éprouvions une obscure admiration pour la puissance de ce «isme» qui venait de jeter à terre le premier homme du pays et obligeait nos professeurs à éluder certains passages de nos manuels.

We steer by the stars and the compass on these lakes, running from headland to headland; and having little need of figures and calculations, make no use of them.
Nous naviguons sur nos lacs à l’aide des astres et de la boussole, passant d’un cap à un autre, et n’ayant guère besoin de chiffres et de calculs, nous n’en faisons pas usage.

"Keep the scow straight, Delaware; steer as straight as your bullet flies when sent ag'in a buck; there - I have it."

But on whom should he first call if he were to steer clear of blunders in that intricate and conceited ecclesiastical world?
Mais une incertitude l’avait pris : chez qui frapper d’abord, par quel personnage commencer ses visites, s’il désirait éviter toute faute, dans un monde qu’il sentait si compliqué et si vaniteux ?

If a vehicle comes up at a gallop or any other danger presents itself, she'll have to make up her mind on the instant, and steer her course firmly and properly if she does not wish to lose a limb.
Une voiture arrive au galop, un danger quelconque se déclare, et tout de suite il faut qu’elle se décide, qu’elle donne son coup de guidon d’une main ferme et sage, si elle ne veut pas y laisser un membre...

"It cannot be far, while we steer in this direction, for sixty or seventy miles will take us into the St. Lawrence, which the French might make too hot for us; and no voyage on this lake can be very long."
– Ce ne peut être bien loin ; car soixante à soixante-dix milles nous conduiraient dans le Saint-Laurent, et les Français pourraient rendre ce fleuve trop chaud pour nous. D’ailleurs nul voyage ne peut être bien long sur ce lac.
