Abstract
A vehicle includes a vehicle body having a structure and a wheel maintaining contact with a road surface. A suspension supports the structure and includes one or more suspension corner assemblies connecting the wheel to the structure and configured to maintain contact between the wheel and the road surface. A secondary actuation system cooperates with the suspension system and is operable to selectively change at least one vehicle operating property. The secondary actuation system includes at least one actuator device operatively connected to the structure at a first end and the one or more suspension corner assemblies at a second end to selectively change at least one vehicle operating property and a spring assembly in fluid communication with the at least one actuator device selectively actuated to adjust an amount of fluid in the at least one actuator device to selectively change the at least one vehicle operating property.
