ABSTRACT:
A suspension control system for a vehicle enables excellent ride quality and excellent running stability to be obtained even when the vehicle is running on a bad road. When a road surface condition judging circuit judges that the vehicle is running on a bad road, a damping coefficient preferential setting circuit preferentially sets the compression-side damping coefficient of a damping coefficient varying type shock absorber to a predetermined large value, and consequently sets the extension-side damping coefficient to a small value. Thus, the ride quality is prevented from being degraded by control delay. Further, uncontrollable movement of non-suspended members is effectively suppressed, and thus the condition of contact between the wheels and the ground is improved. Accordingly, even if the vehicle is steered during running on a bad road, no drift-out occurs. Thus, excellent running stability can be ensured.
