Abstract
In apparatus and method for controlling a damping force characteristic of each of front and rear left and right road wheel positioned shock absorbers based on a Sky Hook control theory, rear left and right road wheel position vehicular behaviors are estimated using a predetermined transfer function established between front road wheel position vehicular behaviors and rear road wheel position vehicular behaviors from front left and right road wheel position vehicular behavior related signals with the damping force characteristics of the rear road wheel positioned shock absorbers controlled on the basis of rear road wheel position control signals formed for the rear left and right road wheel positioned shock absorbers on the basis of the estimated rear road wheel position vehicular behaviors.
