Patent ID: 7628414

Claim:
A body roll damping system for a motor vehicle, comprising: first and second pivotal suspension components pivotally rotatable about first and second axes; at least one passive two-way roll damper configured for damping in both tension and compression; first and second connections between said at least one passive two-way roll damper and said first and second pivotal components; and said at least one passive two-way roll damper and said first and second connections associated and operatively connected with one another such that said at least one passive two-way roll damper provides increased damping resistance to substantially simultaneous rotation of said first and second pivotal suspension components in the same rotational directions about said first and second axes, and lessened damping resistance to rotation of said first and second pivotal suspension components in opposite rotational directions about said first and second axes and to rotation of one of said first and second pivotal suspension components without significant rotation of the other of said first and second pivotal suspension components.
