Abstract: A sensor unit includes a sensor body consisting of a detecting part which detects an inside pressure of a tire, and a transmitting part which transmits a pressure signal detected by the detecting part, and a base member which holds the sensor body. The base member is fixed to a wheel through a heat curable adhesive layer.

Abstract: A stabilizer effectiveness control device that has an actuator for changing the apparent torsion rigidity of a stabilizer provided between the left and right wheels of a motor vehicle, a control device for controlling the output of the actuator, and a device for detecting the degree of sharpness of a turn when the vehicle is turning. The actuator is driven and controlled in response to the degree of sharpness of the turn when the vehicle is turning so as to change the torsion rigidity of the stabilizer between the left and right wheels of the vehicle. When the sharpness of the turn is small the change in attitude of the vehicle body is controlled by the actuator to prioritize vehicle riding comfort, whereas when the degree of sharpness of the turn is increased the actuator bottoms out, thus allowing the intrinsic rigidity of the stabilizer to control the handling or running stability of the vehicle.

Abstract: A wheel suspension system for automobiles includes a control arm having a pair of front and rear inner ends and an outer end connected to a knuckle rotatably supporting a wheel. The inner ends are pivotally mounted to a vehicle body. At least one of the inner ends of the control arm is formed into bifurcated arms arranged longitudinally of the vehicle body. One of the bifurcated arms is rectilinearly integrally connected with the other inner end through a connection. A bolt for supporting the bifurcated arms at opposite ends is carried at a middle portion thereof on the vehicle body through a rubber bush. This allows the inner ends of the control arms and a section therebetween to be enhanced in rigidity, thereby enabling reductions in wall thickness and weight of the control arms.
