Abstract
A non-steerable shock absorber includes a steer-sensitive valve assembly placed in the lower working chamber of an inner cylinder in series with a compression valve. A linkage is provided between a turnable steering knuckle and the steer-sensitive valve assembly to vary the damping characteristics of the shock absorber based on a steering motion of a vehicle's wheels.
