    When the body leans during high speed cornering, both actuators either try to extend (or retract), so there is now flow between them.

    But during articulation, flow occurs between front and back actuators. So effectively disconnecting the swaybars, or even forcing a degree of articulation.
    How will you get around fore/aft pitching? Simply damp it with appropriate sized holes or something more elaborate?

    Hydrolastic suspension anyone?

    yes i believe it is..... they licensed it out to various manufactures that have been developing it.


    also when you guys talk landcruisers could you be more specific like 80 series 100 series 200 series 79 series 70 series etc etc even the prado is called a landcruiser and if we are going to look at specs, these change from model to model

    Kinetic suspension X looks like hydrolastic...

    ACE looks like a powered up version of RFS.

    Could Ace be simplified to an RFS like system and maybe even fitted to a D1?

    you can always use a central remote can for the dampers on each end, and either damp it or use a third spring.

    Or a Z style transverse torsion bar on each end.
    Resistance in pitch and heave, supple in warp (articulation)
