ABSTRACT:
A device preferably mounted to the rear section of a vehicle such as from the vehicle rear axle for stabilizing the vehicle in turns and skids and providing improved overall holding power of the vehicle to the roadway. The stabilizer operates on a hydraulic principle and comprises a housing that may be partially liquid filled such as with a hydraulic oil, although the stabilizer also is operative with the use of solely an air fill. A substantial weight mass is disposed in the housing and is responsive to centrifugal force such as occasioned by a vehicle turn, particularly an abrupt turn, to cause displacement thereof axially of the housing. The device further comprises a piston at each end of the housing and means associated therewith for biasing the piston to a normal restposition, said piston having means permitting fluid bleeding between opposite sides thereof to enhance stabilizer action.
