Axle architecture

The image shows the axle architecture of the new Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Axle architecture

The new front axle takes the form of a double wishbone axle with independent wheel suspension and suspension strut which provides for the necessary traction even in the most difficult off-road terrain. The new independent wheel suspension enables more precise wheel location, for more effective control of the G-Class. The rear axle takes the form of an extremely robust rigid axle which supports the chassis and body. The rigid axle is attached via two upper and two lower trailing arms to the ladder-type frame and provides for the necessary traction even in the most difficult terrain and according to the given type of surface. The new axle architecture noticeably improves ride comfort, both on- and off-road.
