Zusammenfassung:An adjustable shock absorber ( 8 ) includes a damping force changing device ( 16 ) which continuously adjusts the damping force characteristic of the shock absorber in response to input control signals. A first signal is generated by a first sensor which represents the damping force movement. At least a second signal is generated by at least a second device ( 10 a . . . ) which represents the vertical bodywork speed (V A , 12 ) and/or the vehicle longitudinal speed ( 20 ). Based on this, a control signal ( 18 ) for adjusting the damping force characteristic is computed in accordance with a control law in the manner that the change of the desired current can be limited over time.
