Abstract

A stabilizing device for a vehicle suspension of an automotive vehicle. The stabilizing device is capable of stabilizing the vehicle and of absorbing shock exerted in any direction. The stabilizing device comprises a first and a second shock absorbing member. The first shock absorbing member is applied to the vehicle as a vehicle suspension which is disposed between the vehicle body or chassis and a suspension member. The second shock absorbing member is provided on the vehicle so that it indirectly absorbs a shock exerted on the vehicle. The second shock absorber provides a restoring force approximate ten times more than that of the first shock absorbing member. Further, the second shock absorbing member has a titled position so that it can absorb a force or shock exerted on the vehicle in forward, backward and lateral directions.
