JLS500

Hey guys only one month in and I have a vibration in rear on decelleration. I had this same issue on my bmw 750il v12 and it was the center support bearing and the cushion. But in this case right after I put the amg wheels I started to get brake niose and brake issues. I was told it could be the rotors so I checked the rear rotors and it looks like the previous owner was doing pad slaps only and not chAnging the rotors because the rotors have a nice groove on the outer edge. Now I'm not a Benz expert yet but it definitely looks like I need to change the rotors.
Should I go to the car stealer for pads and rotors or is there something out there that's a good direct fit. My local guy has pads rotors and sensor in stock for 160.00
I'm hoping this should fix my issue
Thanks for any input

When the AMG wheels were installed, did an installer throw the wheel on and slam down the lugs with a high-power impact wrench? It is possible to warp a rotor with such an installation.


A ridge on the edge of the rotor isn't unusual - the rotors do wear, and eventually need replacement. There will be a minimum thickness specification cast or stamped into the rotor - a quick measurement will tell you whether you are down to the minimum. Warpage or hard spots require replacement regardless of thickness.

You can definitely find them cheaper than at the dealership. Lots of sponsors on this site sell them. http://www.ecstuning.com/, http://www.pelicanparts.com/, http://www.autohausaz.com/ and the list goes on.
