ABSTRACT:
A number of embodiments of suspension systems for vehicles having at least two and, in all illustrated embodiments, four wheels, each of which is independently suspended by a respective shock absorber. The shock absorbers are generally conventional in nature but are interconnected by a system that includes an accumulator and a flow control so as to provide a damping for vehicle characteristics that is independent of the individual damping of each wheel's shock absorber. A wide variety of accumulator structures and flow controls for achieving these purposes are disclosed, as are a number of ways in which various wheels of the vehicle can have their shock absorbers interconnected.
