%X The effects of suspension properties, particularly roll steer and compliance steer, on vehicle stability in a cross wind are examined using measurements of the vehicle's roll angle and steer angles of the front and rear wheels when the vehicle is subjected to a lateral wind. Further consideration is made with a simulation model. The following main results are obtained: 1) The roll angle and the cornering forces of the front and rear wheels exhibit a transient reversal of direction in a cross wind. 2) Accompanying this vehicle behaviour, the roll steer and compliance steer of the rear wheels, in particular, have substantially different effects on cross wind stability.<p />
