PURPOSE: To increase the transverse force toe-in tendency according to increase in transverse acceleration, by enabling the spring characteristics of elastic support means for supporting a support section of suspension arms to an autobody to be controlled in response to a signal relating to transverse acceleration acting on the autobody.
CONSTITUTION: A rear suspension has wheel supports 16a and 16b supported by a subframe 18 through front and rear suspensions 13a, 13b and 14a, 14b while the front suspension arms 13a and 13b are supported by the subframe 18 through elastic support means 40 and 50. Pressure oil discharged by a pump 8 and controlled by a control valve 9 is introduced to the elastic support means 40 and 50 through a regulating means 20, whereby the spring characteristics thereof is enabled to be regulated. The regulating means 20 is controlled through a controller 30 so as to increase the transverse force toe-in tendency according to increase in a transverse accelleration signal from a transverse acceleration sensor 31.
