A multi-wheel vehicle that employs an electric power steering system is described. A method for operating the vehicle includes determining the vehicle is operating in a straight line, and monitoring parameters associated with the electric power steering and associated with vehicle dynamics. A first self-aligning torque parameter is determined based upon the electric power steering parameters, and a second self-aligning torque parameter is determined based upon the vehicle dynamics parameters. Alignment of the wheels is determined based upon the first and second self-aligning torque parameters.
