The solution space of certain classes of differential equations whose local solutions are parametrized by three or four arbitrary constants can be endowed with a conformal Lorentzian metrics in a natural way. In this paper it is proved that this conformal structure is preserved when the differential equations are transformed by a contact transformation.
