Abstract
A steering control apparatus includes a microcomputer configured to control driving of a motor based on a steering torque so as to generate, for a steering mechanism, an assist force as power for turning front wheels. The microcomputer calculates an assist component indicating the assist force to be generated in the motor based on the steering torque, acquires steered moments about axes extending in a vertical direction of the front wheels from hub units that rotatably support the front wheels and include front wheel sensors configured to detect forces applied to the front wheels, respectively, and compensates for the assist component by using the acquired steered moments so as to generate, in the motor, a vibration suppressing force for suppressing a reverse input vibration.
