Abstract
A suspension control apparatus for a vehicle including a damping-force adjustable shock absorber interposed between a vehicle body and a wheel of a vehicle, and a controller for variably controlling damping-force characteristics of the damping-force adjustable shock absorber between hard and soft. The controller is configured to switch the damping-force characteristics to a soft side when a direction of a stroke of the damping-force adjustable shock absorber is reversed between an extension stroke and a contraction stroke.
