Mercedes-Benz W 201 - Constantly further developed, the expensive multi-link independent rear suspension of the W 201 series, with anti roll bar and chassis subframe, is a ground-breaking construction that has stood the test of time and found many imitators. In this construction, each of the rear wheels is controlled by five independent levers for optimum wheel control, with lateral and longitudinal forces effectively balanced in all driving situations. This prevents undesired steering movements of the wheel and therefore facilitates well-behaved handling characteristics. The new rear axle design is also lighter and more compact than that of its predecessors.
