A steering system for a motor vehicle, including a steering gear and at least one tie rod, is characterized in that an actuator is provided, which can move an end section of the tie rod transversely to the direction in which the end section can be adjusted by the steering gear. A method of controlling a vehicle, in which steerable wheels of a vehicle are acted upon, is characterized in that a correction steering angle is superimposed on a steering angle of the steerable wheels which is given by a steering gear, which correction steering angle is brought about by an actuator which acts on one of the steerable wheels.
