ABSTRACT:
In a curve-leaning vehicle whose vehicle body is leaning inwardly when the vehicle is negotiating a curve, the vehicle body is supported on an axle frame for pivoting about a longitudinal vehicle body axis. The axle frame has wheels which are independently supported by springs and includes an actuator for tilting the vehicle body inwardly when the vehicle is negotiating a curve. The actuator is operatively connected to the spring support structure for controlling spring forces such that the axle frame remains essentially level when the vehicle is negotiating a curve.
