ABSTRACT:
A vehicle suspension system associated with a pair of laterally spaced, steerable wheels includes novel wheel-control mechanism operable in response to steering of the vehicle during a turn thereof for tilting the outside wheel at a greater angle than the inside wheel in the direction of the turn in order to automatically compensate for the effects of lateral forces acting on the wheels which tend to be greater on the wheel tracking the outside path of the turn compared with those forces acting on the wheel tracking the inside path due to the lateral shifting of the vehicle's weight as a result of body roll or the like.
