    Mercedes-Benz S-Class, model series 220. Air suspension, air suspension strut on the front axle, front axle half. Studio shot 1998. Four-link front axle with four-link system made of aluminium and steel. The four most important components give the new axle its name: (1) Spring links (transverse to the direction of travel, they support the suspension struts of the front axle), (2) Tension strut (diagonally forward-facing control arms that optimise the guidance of the front wheels), (3) Upper wishbone control arms (aluminium components that serve to guide the wheels), (4) Tie rods (as part of the new rack-and-pinion power steering to connect the transverse steering gear to the front wheels).
