Introduction To Chassis Design
The automotive chassis is tasked with holding all the components together while driving,and transfering vertical and lateral loads, caused by accelerations, on the chassis through the suspension and two the wheels. Most engineering students will have an understanding of forces and torques long before they read this. It is suggested that the reader has a good understanding of the concepts of axial forces, shear forces, bending, torsion, angular and normal deflections, and finally mass moment of inertia. The key to good chassis design is that the further mass is away from the neutral axis the more ridgid it will be.

Installing Weld-in Fame Connectors for Major Chassis Upgrading
Corporation’s chassis design was light- years ahead of the competition. From indirect-acting torsion-bar front suspension with long-and-short arms and tension struts, to asymmetric leaf springs, the cars were unparalleled. Even the basic floor pan and chassis was excellent: all A and E-bodies, as well as pre-’73 B-bodies, were true, all-unitized construction. In this arrangement, many components normally thought of as “body” parts are put to work carrying loads and increasing structural rigidity without carrying a weight penalty. Eye opener: If you’ve ever seen a bare frame of a ’60s or ’70s GM car, you’ve likely been amazed. There’s strength in only one plane. Nothing whatsoever is there to resist twisting or bending. No wonder Mopars handled so much better than Chevys—they

1988 Mercedes Benz 260E (124 Chassis) Fuel Delivery and Air Induction Operation
Operation fuel delivery air induction for 1988 Mercedes Benz 260E (124 Chassis) L6-2599cc 2.6L SOHC (103)
A mechanical hydraulic injection system provides the basis for the Bosch KE-Jetronic
(CIS-E) fuel system. The mechanical portion of the CIS-E system consists of the mixture
control unit (air flow meter and fuel distributor), primary pressure regulator, fuel accumulator, cold
start valve, fuel injectors, pumps, filter, lines, tank and fuel cooler. In addition, electrical
controls have been added for increased flexibility to meet todays more stringent
performance and exhaust emission requirements. Refer to “COMPUTERIZED ENGINE
CONTROLS” for a detailed description of electronic components.

1995 Mercedes Benz E 320 Sedan (124 chassis) Cruise Control Operation
Cruise control operation. The cruise control system is ready for operation when the ignition is switched on. However, for actual operation, the vehicle speed should be above approx. 40 km/h (approx. 30 mph). As soon as the vehicle is running at the desired speed, touching switch for a short moment in direction of “Accel – Set” or “Decel – Set” will keep this speed constant until the driver engages a different speed or the system is switched off.
