Abstract

A suspension device includes damper interposed between vehicle body and wheel in vehicle and exerted damping force for suppressing vertical movements of vehicle body and wheel, damping force adjustment mechanism adjusts damping force, control device controls damping force adjustment mechanism, lateral acceleration detection unit detects an lateral acceleration acting on vehicle body, roll angular velocity detection unit detects roll angular velocity of vehicle body, and steering angular velocity detection unit detects steering angular velocity of steering wheel. The control device sets maximum damping force out of damping force calculated from steering angular velocity, damping force calculated from lateral acceleration and damping force calculated from roll angular velocity as steering initial stage additional damping force, calculates final damping force of damper using steering initial stage additional damping force and performs steering initial stage control of controlling damper when steering angular velocity exceeds predetermined dead band.
