Sensor component with a magnetic field sensor (2) for co-operating with at least one magnet (24, 26) and with a component structure (3), where the magnetic field sensor (2) is arranged on and/or in the component structure (3). In order to reduce the manufacturing cost and/or the assembly effort and/or to be able in a simple manner to position the magnetic field sensor (2) as close as possible to the at least one magnet (24, 26), the sensor component (1) is characterized in that the component structure (3) is in the form of a screw for producing a screw connection (15).

A suspension characteristic is changed depending on a travel state by a simple structure. An ECU uses a vehicle speed-spring constant setting part to calculate a target spring constant depending on a vehicle speed, and uses a spring constant-frequency setting part to calculate a set frequency corresponding to the target spring constant. An oscillation input calculation part generates a signal representing an oscillation input oscillating at the set frequency. A superimposition part sets a value acquired by superimposing the oscillation input on a target driving force to a new target driving force. As a result, the wheel exhibits a minute oscillation in a longitudinal direction, resulting in an input of the minute oscillation to a suspension bush. The suspension bush changes in a spring constant and a damping coefficient depending on the frequency of the input minute oscillation. As a result, the suspension characteristic can be changed.
