Abstract
An alignment control unit and method for an automotive suspension are provided in which a basic control amount is determined in accordance with a detected steering angle, and the alignment is controlled in accordance with a product value obtained by multiplying the determined basic control amount by a control gain. The control gain may be set such that an actual control amount of an actuator is changed to be increased when the detected steering angle exceeds a specified value or may be set in accordance with a detected lateral acceleration such that it increases as the lateral acceleration increases. The toe angle or camber angle of a wheel may be controlled in accordance with the basic control amount.
