Mitch, the 4-ETS 4matic system like the standard ETS (Electronic
Traction Support) on some models are similar in that there is no
throttle intervention, power/torque is regulated by brake application
only, forcing up to 25% of the available torque to a single wheel (in
the case of 4-ETS).

Do you have an early model S210 (98-99?) without the optional ESP
(Electronic Stability Program)? Something to be on the lookout for, if
anyone is in the market for a early 210 4matic. Little sense having
forward traction if the car is reluctant to go where you point it!

I used to want a 2000-2003 wagon for
the ESP, until I realized the 98-99
models had more ground clearance.
Now I want a 1999 with the ESP
option.
Decisions, decisions...
I have been looking half-seriously for a 2000-up E430

How's the AWD S210 dealing with the winter roads up north?

Maybe there's less
weight in the back, causing the back to spin first under
throttle?
I
took off the torn boot, put the new rod on, and I had to drive 950
miles home in a storm with no boot whatsoever on the tie rod. 10,000
miles later my new rod is toast.
A baggie and two zip ties would have killed them?

I thought about trying to wrap it in something, but

Haven't been in any snow yet that would cause real trouble for an Achieva or a
Taurus, but I assume the 4MATIC will fare better than my previous winter beaters
in the deep stuff.
I bought four new General

Sounds exactly like every MB I've owned. I think these cars really need
proper snow tires.
