Abstract

A vehicle steering device including a steering torque detection unit that detects a steering torque, the vehicle steering device controlling an electric current value, which is applied to an electric motor, and applying an assist torque to a steering system based on the steering torque, includes a one-side pull response control unit that detects one-side pull generated at a vehicle, and corrects the current value to restrict the one-side pull. One-side pull response control is restricted or inhibited for a predetermined time after the vehicle ends a turn.
