Argument made steering awkward (12)
I believe the answer is:
disagreement
'argument' is the definition.
(a disagreement is an argument)
'made steering awkward' is the wordplay.
'awkward' indicates anagramming the letters.
'made'+'steering'='madesteering'
'madesteering' with letters rearranged gives 'DISAGREEMENT'.
(Other definitions for disagreement that I've seen before include "Conflict" , "dispute" , "Difference of opinion" , "Contretemps" , "Quarrel" .)
