ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for a wheel alignment procedure for a vehicle having a steer-by-wire steering system. The wheel alignment procedure includes determining an offset alignment value for a road wheel of a vehicle. The offset alignment value may be determined as the difference between the sensed wheel angle and a measured true angular position of the road wheel. The method further includes the step of adjusting the road wheel position as a function of the offset alignment value. Accordingly, the vehicle road wheel can be aligned by adjusting a calibration value in a controller without requiring physical adjustment of a mechanical linkage.
