ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A stabilizer assembly is provided herein. The assembly includes, in combination, a torsion bar having a central portion and end, ???? the end portions being twistably mounted on the frame of a vehicle, ??? slidable braking device disposed at at least one end of the torsion bar The slidable braking device has a slidable cylinder member and a fixed piston mem- ber secured, respectively, to the end portion of the torsion bar and the mov- ing portion of the swing arm of the suspension system of the vehicle. The slidable cylinder member and fixed piston member are reciprocal relative to each other under a certain braking force with the stroke thereof being limited to a length smaller than the maximum twistable amplitude of the ends of the torsion bar. The end portion of the torsion bar has such inertias as to induce the sliding action of the slidable braking device. This stabili- zer thus includes slidable braking device for controlling a torsion bar so that it rarely or only slightly acts when the vehicle runs in a straight path, but which effectively acts when the vehicle turns. Thus, the initial distor- tion of the torsion bar has no effect upon the stabilizing action unless the resultant spring-back force exceeds the predetermined frictional resistance. The stroke of the slidable braking device is limited to about 15 mm from a neutral position This limited stroke overcomes the unevenness in the road surface, and produces a roll angle of about 1". which does not effect the vehicle very much when running under heavy turning conditions.
