Patent ID: 7871083

Claim:
A stabilizer system for use in a vehicle having a body, a left wheel, and a right wheel, the stabilizer system comprising: two stabilizer bars which are connected to the left and right wheels, respectively, and which are rotated relative to each other to exhibit a rolling-restraining effect to restrain a rolling of the body; an actuator which includes a driving-force source producing a driving force and which changes, with the driving force, a relative-rotation amount of the two stabilizer bars counted from a reference relative-rotation position thereof and thereby changes the rolling-restraining effect thereof; and a control device including a rolling-restraining control portion comprising a target-relative-rotation-amount determining portion which determines a target relative-rotation amount of the two stabilizer bars, based on a target-relative-rotation-amount determination basis quantity that can be used to determine the target relative-rotation amount, wherein the rolling-restraining control portion performs a rolling-restraining control to control the actuator to change the relative-rotation amount of the two stabilizer bars to the target relative-rotation amount thereof determined by the target-relative-rotation-amount determining portion and thereby enable the two stabilizer bars to exhibit an appropriate rolling-restraining effect, wherein the control device further includes a reference-relative-rotation-position determining portion which determines the reference relative-rotation position of the two stabilizer bars.
