Abstract

A method for adjusting a track of a vehicle wheel using a wheel steering-angle adjusting device during operation of the vehicle, the wheel steering-angle adjusting device including a steering mechanism with a movably mounted steering adjusting element for changing a wheel steering angle of the vehicle wheel and a steering actuator for changing a position of the steering adjusting element. The steering adjusting element has, for coupling to the steering actuator, a coupling portion which defines a maximum adjusting displacement which is greater than an adjusting displacement required for changing the wheel steering angle of the vehicle wheel. An operating variable of the steering actuator is determined and compared with a reference variable. When the operating variable differs from the reference variable, for the adjustment of the track of the vehicle wheel, an operating position and/or resting position of the steering adjusting element is varied using the steering actuator.
