W221 S65 front bar
I bought a 2007 S65 and I am yet to deive it regularly because the lockdow, but today lifted it to check if there was an oil leak and noticed the car has no front bar or links.
Is it missing it or it comes with none?

I'm not sure if your car has ABC (Active Body Control) or Airmatic suspension, but the ABC suspension doesn't use sway bars. It actively stabilizes the car with the hydraulics in the struts.
The ABC system is expensive to maintain, and even more expensive to repair, so it may not be present on your car if a previous owner replaced it. If your ABC system has been replaced by standard struts by a previous owner, there really isn't much facility for putting sway bars in.

OP every S-65 came with 'ABC' (Active Body Control) from the factory.
Fresh fluid and filters keeps it healthy and happy + regular exercise.
She has a leak? Find it and fix it!
Whatever you do.... Keep fluid from running dry in the tandem pump! Many many $$$ will be spent should this happen
Search for ABC repairs ect on the 221 forum to learn about the system
