Abstract
A system for use in a vehicle, the system includes at least two hydraulic damper assemblies. The system includes a syringe pump in fluid communication with the hydraulic damper assemblies. The syringe pump includes a barrel having an opening. The syringe pump includes a plunger slidable within the barrel in a first direction that moves hydraulic fluid into the barrel via the opening and in a second direction that moves hydraulic out of the barrel via the opening. The system includes an actuator supported within the barrel and operatively coupled to the plunger.

A system for use in a vehicle, the system comprising:
- at least two hydraulic damper assemblies;
- a syringe pump in fluid communication with the hydraulic damper assemblies, the syringe pump including a barrel having an opening, and including a plunger slidable within the barrel in a first direction that moves hydraulic fluid into the barrel via the opening and in a second direction that moves hydraulic out of the barrel via the opening;
- and
- an actuator supported within the barrel and operatively coupled to the plunger.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a body;
- a wheel;
- a hydraulic damper assembly operatively connected between the body and the wheel;
- a syringe pump in fluid communication with the hydraulic damper assembly, the syringe pump including a barrel having an opening and elongated along a vehicle-lateral axis, and having a plunger slidable within the barrel in a first direction that moves hydraulic fluid into the barrel via the opening and in a second direction that moves hydraulic out of the barrel via the opening;
- and
- an actuator operatively coupled to the plunger.
