ABSTRACT:
A vehicle height adjusting device includes a resilient member having an outer end coupled to a wheel support member and an inner end supported on a vehicle body, the resilient member having a vertically resilient characteristic and serving as a suspension component, and a load unit disposed between the resilient member and the vehicle body for applying a vertical bonding stress to the resilient member to displace the resilient member for thereby varying the height of the vehicle body. Another vehicle height adjusting device includes an elongate resilient member extending transversely of a vehicle body and having opposite ends coupled respectively to two laterally spaced wheel support members, the resilient member having a vertically resilient characteristic and serving as a suspension component, retaining members supporting an intermediate portion of the elongate resilient member slidably and swingably on the vehicle body at at least two spaced points on the intermediate portion, and a load unit for applying a vertical bending stress to the resilient member to displace the resilient member for thereby varying the height of the vehicle body.
