PURPOSE: To control the transverse force toe-in tendency in the rear wheels for improving the running stability, by enabling the spring scharacteristics of elastic support means through which the support section of suspension arms is supported by an autobody to be controlled according to the speed of the automobile and the operation of a steering wheel.
CONSTITUTION: A rear suspension has wheel supports 16a and 16b supported by a subframe 18 through front and rear suspension arms 13a, 13b and 14a, 14b, while the front suspension arms 13a and 13b are supported by the subframe through elastic support means 40 and 50. Pressure oil discharged by a pump 8 and controlled by a control valve 9 is introduced to these elastic support means 40 and 50 through a regulating means 20, whereby the spring characteristics of the elastic support means is enabled to be regulated. The regulating means 20 is controlled such that it increases the transverse force toe-in tendency according to increase in a speed signal from a speed sensor 31 and that it suppresses the transverse force toe-in tendency according to increase in a steering angle signal from a steering angle sensor 32.
