Abstract

A vibration damping method on a vehicle wheel suspension is provided in which, in a hydraulic vibration damper, the damping force increases highly progressively as a function of the piston speed, especially in the range of a piston speed of essentially 0 to 2 m/s, increasing at first slowly and essentially linearly and then especially beyond a piston speed of essentially 2 m/s increasing highly progressively.
