Traffic safety and cornering
Schemes amortization and damping remain unchanged: coil springs front and rear gas shock absorbers and torsion bar stabilizer on the front and rear axles (abandoned in the new models E 200 and E 220 Diesel). On the Mercedes E-Class are long-stroke spring, has better characteristics of tension and compression than previous models. This has resulted in a reduction roll (lateral tilting) when cornering and driving on rough roads, which, in turn, reduce the chance of skidding. This achievement in the field of safety and dynamics did not affect the driving comfort. Applied for the first time on the Mercedes E-class gas shock absorbers with double cylinders are an effective way to improve the comfort and ride quality of the car. Shock absorbers operate on the principle of regression, which allows more accurately respond to the stresses arising.
