Abstract

A method for adjusting the damping force of shock absorbers, connected between a vehicle body and a wheel at vehicle corners of a motor vehicle, wherein at least one damping force which is referred to a center of gravity of the vehicle body and which is divided between the shock absorbers of the respective wheels of the motor vehicle is determined as a function of at least one variable which represents the movement of the vehicle body and/or a movement of the respective wheel. For at least one of the lifting, pitching and rolling modal directions, the respective damping force is determined as a function of a predefined, constantly maintained degree of damping of respective modal direction.
