Abstract
A stabilizer control apparatus operating to contort stabilizer bars ensures the stability of a vehicle, even in the event that one of the front and rear stabilizer bars of the vehicle is stuck in a contorted state. The stabilizer control apparatus includes frontward and rearward stabilizer barsand, frontward and rearward stabilizer actuatorsthat can be driven to contort the stabilizer barsandbetween their two ends, a lateral G sensoror the like for detecting rolling of the vehicle and furthermore an ECUthat outputs to the stabilizer actuatorsanda driving signal to cause a resisting rolling moment countering rolling of the vehicle and that moreover, in the event that the irregularity is detected that one of the frontward and rearward stabilizer barsandis stuck in a contorted state, outputs to the stabilizer actuatorsanda driving signal to contort the other one of the frontward and rearward stabilizer barsandin the direction compensating that rolling moment.
