PURPOSE:To make it possible to continuously change the rigidity of a stabilizer, by connecting a pipe at one end, relatively rotatably to the outer part of a torsionable section of the stabilizer, and by disposing a piston extendibly in the pipe. CONSTITUTION:The main section of a stabilizer 10 is composed of a stabilizer bar 12 and a pipe 14. The stabilizer bar is formed of a pair of attaching parts which are connected to both right and left suspensions, respectively, and a torsionable section 13b extending from the attaching parts. Further, the pipe 14 is connected at one end 15a to the torsionable section 13b, and a cap 20 is threadedly engaged onto a screw 18 at the other end 15b of the pipe 14 with an O-ring 22 in the inner peripheral surface of the cap 20 being made into close contact with the torsionable section 13b. Further, a piston 24 is disposed in the pipe 14 to define a plurality of fluid chambers A, B into which pressure fluid is selectively introduced. Thereby, the piston 24 is extended and retracted to change the rigidity of the stabilizer 10. |
