Any vehicle negotiating a curve will roll or lean onto one side. Suspension engineers have always worked to limit roll because the side-to-side movements of the body mass inevitably leads to instability, not to mention discomfort for occupants.
Over the last five decades, automotive engineering has had a boost from increasingly precise computer-aided design (CAD). Together with new materials, CAD has been instrumental in improving the suspension system of vehicles in recent decades.
