weight transfer side to side in turns

[Lars]

Browsing your great catalog, it appears that the problem of weight transfer side to side,
esp in a sta wagon, is not addressed?
Returning from a trip today in my 56 wagon, I said, sure would be great
to have air susp AND the ability of the system to sense when the body starts
to heel in a turn, and automatically have the inside of the car in the turn raise the
air pressure a bit and outside drop it the same amount, to minimize heel over.
Evidently not?
Certainly there is a pressure sensiing valve that could be used on each set of wheels at eigther end to sense presssure change and apply it to the appropriate side proportionally. (Could be fore and aft too but I am concerned with turns on two laners)...

The lack of reply apparently means that Air Ride cannot provide any assistance in regards to active handling mods? We can raise and lower, add more air pressure, and cause the car to leap, but not adjust to weight transfer in turns???

All it takes is a simple yea or nay.........

Sorry Lars, I wasn' t avoiding you its just been really busy around here.
Let me get this right you want the suspension to automatically add more air pressure to the outside bag while going around a corner.

Thanx Darren, its an oddball and figgered maybe inappropriate.
YES, my wagon, of course, as I set into a turn, due to high CG, definately heels more than it should. New wagon springs front, new shox tho a tad soft, and rear air shox with about 24# in them.
But if I bagged it, I said- HEY! All we need is a sensor for air pressure. When it changes a suitable amount gets sent to the other side? Course we may have a time factor here.....dont want this thing to do the hula...
ANY feedback appreciated. Good bad indifferent!
A rear antisway bar would help but think the auto transfer would do the same thing.

We have the new IntelliRide system which uses ride height sensors and automatically adjusts to different heights. It has a built in delay of 40 sec. so it doesn' t jack the car around while going around a long turn or off ramp.
This system definitely has the potential to do what you want but I' m not so sure its a good idea. It will be adjusting so often that your compressor will never shut off.

Think U R right, Darren.
THere is not only a volume (of air) component in this problem but also a time component that varies. Am sure it can be done (and may be used in such as those megabuck bus style motorhomes or____) but not in a ' simple' case.
So much for this one.
