Abstract
An anti-roll system in a vehicle equipped with a power steering system for producing a steering reactive force modulatable by a speed at which the vehicle is running. The system introduces hydraulic pressure for the steering reactive force into suspension units on one side of the vehicle depending on steering directions, thereby preventing the roll of the vehicle body due to centrifugal forces exerted while the vehicle is being turned. An excessively inclined attitude of the vehicle during the turning thereof is thus corrected for an increased degree of maneuverability and safety of the vehicle.
