1. A method for determining wheel misalignment for wheels of a vehicle, said method comprising:

  • measuring the position of a hand-wheel of the vehicle;

    sampling the measured hand-wheel position at a predetermined sampling time;

    accumulating the sampled hand-wheel positions during a predetermined sampling period;

    comparing the accumulated hand-wheel positions with previously accumulated hand-wheel positions from previous sampling periods; and

    determining whether there is a wheel misalignment based on the comparison.
