Abstract

The damping characteristics of shock absorbers are variable contingent upon various operating parameters. In changing the damping characteristic, the invention provides for performing the change during operating phases of slight damping force changes. This can be achieved, in that the changes of the damping characteristic are carried out only in the compression stage of the shock absorber. This is especially favorable with a shock absorber of a design such that its damping characteristic will be adjustable only in the traction stage.
