"steering control element" is a good alternative. See example below from
http://gauss.ffii.org/PatentView/EP145598

Although the invention is primarily applicable to training in the driving of vehicles of the automobile type, it will be understood that this application does not imply any limitation. And when using certain expressions which relate more specifically to automobiles, it must be understood that they include within their meaning any other equipment element employed in other applications. In particular, the steering wheel of a car can equally well be an aircraft control column or joystick, or any other vehicle steering control element, whilst the term "road" can represent any type of landscape surrounding the path of travel to be followed by the operator.

neutral  Ken Cox: agree that an abstract term is needed -- perhaps 'steering control element', but I'm not an expert in patent language
