Abstract
A suspension device for automobile performs changing-over of the damping force of a shock absorber and the spring constant of a suspension spring by an output from an acceleration sensor or an output from a road clearance sensor mounted on the vehicle body. The changing operation is not performed by magnitude of an output but is performed only when an output greater that a predetermined level continues for a predetermined time period to avoid unnecessary change-over operations of the suspension characteristic during cruising a rough road.
