ABSTRACT:
A vehicle active tilt control system provides improved response time in torsionally adjusting front and rear stabilizer bars during vehicle maneuvers. The system includes front and rear actuators connected, respectively, to the front and rear stabilizer bars for selectively twisting the stabilizer bars. The actuators are moveable in first and second opposing directions for twisting the stabilizer bars in opposing directions. A directional control valve is operatively connected to the front and rear actuators for directing fluid flow to the actuators to selectively cause movement of the actuators in one of the first and second opposing directions. An electrically pressure-controlled pump is operatively connected to the directional control valve for delivering fluid to the directional control valve at controllable pressures, thereby providing improved pressure-control response time which results in improved system performance.
