A vehicle steering control device is provided that suppresses changes in
the steering force accompanying the shock transmitted from the road
surface during the steering wheel return operation. The vehicle steering
device is a steer-by-wire steering device where a steering wheel
receiving the steering input which is transmitted electronically to the
steering unit which turns steered road wheels of the vehicle. The
steering reaction force correction (Gf.times.F) corresponding to road
surface reaction force F is applied to the steering wheel. The device
includes a turn/return sensor that senses turn/return of the steering
wheel, and during return of steering wheel, road surface reaction force
feedback gain Gf is made smaller than the initial turning.
