Abstract

A suspension-steering control apparatus is provided with suspension-characteristic changing means for changing a suspension characteristic and a rear-wheel steering mechanism for steering rear wheels of a vehicle. The suspension characteristics is such that, for example, a magnitude of a damping force of a suspension or a rolling rigidity ratio of the rear portion of the vehicle body to the front portion thereof can be changed. The rear-wheel steering mechanism is controlled on the basis of a predetermined steering characteristic. The steering-characteristic is corrected in synchronization with alteration of the suspension characteristic.
