Hydraulic stabilizing system for vehicle suspension arrangement.

摘要

A roll stabilizing system for a vehicle wheel spring suspension arrangement includes piston and cylinder units (32,34) mounted between the chassis and respective suspension control arms (22) at opposite sides of the vehicle to counteract roll of the vehicle sprung mass using cornering manoeuvres. A single-ended piston rod (38) in each cylinder unit defines pressure chambers of unequal cross-sectional area, and adverse affects of such inequality on the suspension system are prevented by a force-compensating hydraulic circuit including additional piston and cylinder combinations (66,68) responsive to the hydraulic pressures prevailing in the suspension control arm hydraulic units.
