A steer angle adjusting apparatus for a vehicle is arranged such that the respective steer angles of right and left steered wheels of the vehicle which are steered by a steering device are adjusted independently of each other by a steer angle adjusting mechanism. A running condition of the vehicle is detected by running condition detectors, and the steer angle adjusting mechanism is controlled by a controller in accordance with the detected running condition. Accordingly, the steering stability is improved irrespective of the running condition of the vehicle.
