Patent ID: 7926820

Claim:
A stabilizer control apparatus, comprising: a stabilizer bar including both ends supported by right and left wheels of a vehicle, respectively, and an intermediate portion supported to a vehicle body by first and second supporting members; and a switching device arranged between one of the first and second supporting members and the vehicle body and including a cylinder member, a tubular piston member, a spring member, and an engaging/disengaging mechanism, the switching device switching over the spring member from an extendable/retractable position to a neutral position and vice versa, the cylinder member being supported by one of the vehicle body and one of the first and second supporting members, the piston member being supported by the other of the vehicle body and one of the first and second supporting members and slidably inserted into the cylinder member, the spring member being accommodated in the piston member, which is inserted into the cylinder, and axially spanned between the piston member and the cylinder member, the engaging/disengaging mechanism allowing the piston member to axially move relative to the cylinder member when the spring member is in the extendable/retractable position and preventing the piston member from axially moving relative to the cylinder member when the spring member is retained in the neutral position.
