ABSTRACT:
An adjustable damping system (10) for motor vehicles is disclosed. The adjustable damping system (10) includes dampers (10) for damping road vibration. Each of the dampers (10) include a pressure cylinder (48) which forms a working chamber (50) which are operable to store damping fluid. In addition, the dampers (10) have a device (176) for electrically controlling the flow of damping fluid between each of the portions in the pressure cylinder (48). The adjustable damping system further includes a plurality of separate electronic control modules (34) which are operable to control the damping characteristics of the dampers (10). Finally, the adjustable damping system (10) includes a switch (32) for generating a plurality of electrical control signals.
