A vehicle anti-roll mechanism 32 includes a unitary anti-roll bar 34 having a central, transversely mounted section (36, Fig. 4) and a pair of longitudinal lever arm sections (38L, 38R, Fig. 4). Sections 38 are operatively coupled to the vehicle via sliding bushes 42, so that their effective lengths are varied automatically in response to suspension movement. Compression of one wheel suspension reduces the effective length of its lever arm section 38, increasing the effective stiffness of the anti-roll bar on that side; whereas extension of the suspension has the opposite effect. In an embodiment, the vehicle has a rigid axle 24; the central section 36 of the anti-roll bar 34 is mounted to the axle 24; and the sliding bushes are pivotally mounted to the vehicle body. Advantages: rising roll stiffness under load; but wheels also keep better contact with road on droop.
