1. A flexibility corrector for a vehicle suspension system for reducing the suspension flexibility when the suspension system departs from its mean position and substantially working in a state of unstable equilibrium about said mean position of the suspension, said corrector comprising a triangular articulated structure formed by a first element having two spaced fixed pivot points, a second element pivotally mounted on one of said pivot points and a resilient member pivotally connected to the other of said pivot points and to the free end of said second element, said second element being responsive to the deflection and rebound movements of the suspension, and a servomechanism connected to said first element and having control means including means for detecting any deviation of said resilient member out of its state of unstable equilibrium so as to maintain said resilient member in said state in a static position of equilibrium of the suspension.
