Abstract
A device is proposed for the control of a transverse-acceleration-dependent vehicle component, particularly a shock-absorber, dependent upon a control signal representing the transverse acceleration and obtained by means of a computer. In the device of the invention the computer is supplied by a tachogenerator responding to the vehicle speed and by a steering angle sensor responding to a steering lock. The computer is designed for obtaining the control signal taking into consideration values specific to the vehicle, such as mass of the vehicle, wheel suspension rigidity and the like.
