ABSTRACT:
An automatic damper system for an automobile which includes a plurality of shock absorbers (10). Each of the shock absorbers (10) having a pressure cylinder (48), a first valve member (100) for establishing the first plurality of flow passages, as well as a second valve member (134) for establishing a second plurality of flow passages. In addition, each of the shock absorbers (10) include an actuator (176) for displacing the second valve member (134) with respect to the first valve member (100). Finally, the automatic damping system further includes a plurality of electronic control modules (34) each of which are able to control the displacement of one of the second valve members (134) with respect to one of the first valve members.
