The electronic throttle body is very similar to the cable-operated throttle body, with a few notable changes. Among the most noticeable is the addition of the throttle actuator control motor. This motor is used to open and close the throttle plate based on direct commands from the engine control module. The motor turns two reduction gears inside the throttle body that link the drive gear from the motor to the throttle plate shaft.

Car enthusiasts are well aware that Mercedes-Benz used to be synonymous with quality, although it all went downhill in the 1990s with the introduction of the M-Class SUV. We also have to remember that suppliers can also make blunders that ultimately affect an automaker's image.

Anti-sway bars (aka sway, stabilizer or anti-roll bars) never get the credit they deserve. If anti-sway bars were never invented, the ride and handling of vehicles would be a lot more harsh than it is today. That is because anti-sway bars act as a third spring controlling rolls stiffness of a vehicle. An anti-sway bar has no effect if both sides simultaneously move in the same direction.
