Stabilizer bar assembly and vehicle including the same
A stabilizer bar assembly may include left and right bars, an outer cylinder member connected to one of the left bar and the right bar, an inner cylinder member provided inside the outer cylinder member to enable relative rotation with the outer cylinder member, and connected to the other one of the left bar and the right bar, and a torsion spring providing rotational stiffness to the inner cylinder member and the outer cylinder, which rotate relatively.
SPRING SYSTEM HAVING A SPRING ARRANGEMENT
A spring arrangement for suspending a wheel suspension element relative to a vehicle body includes a spring element extending along a torsion axis and having a multiplicity of torsion portions arranged one around another in radial succession. Adjacent torsion portions are predominantly separate from one another in each case, but connected in a rotationally fixed manner in certain regions by a connecting portion. An innermost torsion portion and an outermost torsion portion each have an attachment region and one attachment region is connected to the vehicle body and the other attachment region is connected to the wheel suspension element. A controllable actuator may act on different torsion portions of the spring element relative to the vehicle body and to set the characteristics of the spring arrangement.
