A steer-by wire apparatus for use in turning steerable vehicle wheels includes a steering member which is axially movable relative to the vehicle to effect turning movement of the steerable vehicle wheels. A ball nut assembly is connected with an externally threaded portion of the steering member. The steering member moves axially in response to rotation of the ball nut assembly relative to the steering member. A first motor connected with the ball nut assembly is operable to effect rotation of the ball nut assembly relative to the steering member. A pinion is in meshing engagement with the steering member. The steering member moves axially in response to rotation of the pinion. A second motor connected with the pinion is operable to effect rotation of the pinion relative to the steering member.
