1. A method for controlling a steering system in a motor vehicle, wherein the steering system converts a steering wheel angle to a steering angle of a steered wheel of the motor vehicle in order to control a yaw rate of the motor vehicle, and the method comprises the following steps:

  • sampling of oscillations of the steering wheel angle and of the yaw rate;

    detecting a predetermined phase difference between the oscillation of the steering wheel angle and the oscillation of the yaw rate; and

    increasing damping in the conversion of the steering wheel angle to the steering angle, wherein the steering system comprises a servo steering system for converting a steering wheel force to an amplified steering force at the steered wheel, and wherein the increased damping is brought about by increasing a counterforce opposed to the steering wheel force.
