Abstract

A control system to stabilize horizontal motion of a vehicle under varying steering conditions. A turn to the right or left will cause the oil from one shock to be redirected, through tubing, to the opposite side shock, causing a matched suspension spring compression to occur on both sides of the vehicle. In a straight ahead course, the hydraulic cross-vehicle flow is aborted.

Claims

1. A vehicular hydraulic stabilizer, applied to each side of car, comprising:

a. a cylinder, pivotally connected at one end to a wheel support member, with the second end stabilized by a rod guide;

b. a piston, movably contacting the inside walls of said cylinder, dividing cylinder space into a lower chamber and an upper chamber;

c. a rod attached to said piston on one end, extending through and movably contacted to said rod guide, along at least a portion of its length, and attached to vehicular frame at second end;

d. fittings and tubing attached to said upper and said lower cylinder chambers, with said tubing communicating with opposite chambers on opposite side cylinder.

2. Tubing according to claim 1, comprises distribution valve.

3. Cylinder according to claim 1, wherein cylinder is a shock absorber.

4. A hydraulic leveling system for motorized vehicles comprising fittings and tubing, affixed to automotive shock absorbers, wherein said tubing is configured to direct hydraulic oil from positive pressure side of piston within the cylinder of one shock absorber, to opposite side of piston on the opposite side shock absorber of vehicle, whereas anti-roll properties are applied when turning.
