2013 W212 E550 4Matic Front Brake Rotors wrapped and vibrating whenever brake apply

The vibration caused by wrapped and defective Brake Rotors, I did the brake jobs on my 2013 E550 4MATIC just 3 weeks ago and it would solve the problem right away. If you can't do it your self shopping around for Auto Shop that would works on Customer provide parts. I will update on this brake jobs in about next 3 months.

Shade section clearly visible and this is not wrapped (I just forgot the technical term for it) but I put Wrapped there anyway


Just a second take on Left Front Inside. I can't find the Manufacture Stamp on the Rotor.


On the Outside of the Left Front wrapped is visible


Badly defective here on the Right Front Inside


Right Front Outside is wrapped very badly, this cause the massive vibration every time brake apply


Benz OE Front Pads is Brembo, very good though , it's till have 85% left but I replace with new Pads anyway. Notice that there's sticky 2 circles on the back of the Pads, that should be brake quiet and it stick to the Caliber Piston very hard to pull it out unless you remove the Caliber Housing.


I love Centric and have been using it on my BMW M3s and now on my Benz. Even though it made in China but I never have any issue.


Posi Quiet is also Centric originaly, I did not use Brake Quiet Spray Products even tthough I'd brought it. I also reused the 2 long Secure Pins and Blade Spring Shim.

In couple of million miles I drove in my life, I yet have to have warped rotor. But I observe the road and for me applying brakes in normal driving is an error. Made a fame with my friends where I can drive 100 miles without touching the brake and usually I am the fastest on the road.
Stamped info will be on cylindrical part, where you have printed "front left outside"

Had high carbon centric rotors with duralast max pads.. lasted me a year and a half.
just received my new centric rotors , and probably will go with Posi Quiet centric pads.
(brake pads still at id say 70% of wear left on them) , hate to do this and such a waste of money but benz is a benz. You all know what im talking about.

good luck to you OP , post and update later on.

No AMG unfortunately, and we'll just leave it as that

I think the 2012+ E550 have the bigger 360mm front rotors with a different caliper. The part numbers for rotor and pad are different.
