Abstract
A damping device is installed between a vehicle body and desired two of wheels and provided with a damping force producing mechanism for producing a larger damping force when the two wheels make strokes involving a relative movement therebetween, such as at the time of rolling, pitching, etc. than when the two wheels make strokes without involving any substantial relative movement therebetween, such as at the time of bouncing. In one embodiment, the damping force producing mechanism comprises a pair of restrictions in communication with cross conduits interconnecting upper and lower cylinder chambers. The conduits and cylinder chambers are arranged so as to cause a larger flow rate of fluid to pass through the restrictions when the wheel strokes involve a relative movement between the wheels than when the wheel strokes does not involve such relative movement.
