PURPOSE:To maintain constant steering feeling even when front wheels slip. CONSTITUTION:A microcomputer 36 detects the amounts of slip of left and right front wheels FW1 and FW2 based on speeds of respective wheels FW1, FW2, RW1 and RW2 detected by wheel speed sensors 31-34. In accordance with the detected amounts of slip, the microcomputer 36 controls an amount of electric current flowing in an electromagnetic solenoid 17a so that reaction force by a control valve 17 equipped with a reaction force mechanism increases as the detected amounts of slip increase. As a result, even when the self-aligning torque of front wheels decreases due to slip of the wheels and the steering reaction force from the road surface decreases, the steering reaction force which a driver receives from the steering wheel is kept approximately constant. |
