Abstract
A suspension system for a vehicle has cylinder devices in which suspension characteristics are changed by controlling fluid supply/discharge to/from the cylinder devices. The fluid pressure in the cylinder devices is sensed, and warping of the vehicle body is computed based on the sensed pressures. Then the fluid supply/discharge to/from the cylinder devices is controlled so as to suppress the warping of the vehicle body by a warp control unit. The warp control unit is provided so as to change the ratio of the fluid supply/discharge to/from the cylinder devices of the front wheels to the fluid supply/discharge to/from the cylinder devices of the rear wheels.
