So today I pulled of one of the wheels and cleaned the backside, then checked out the rotor to see how bad they need replacing. What do you guys think?




Hopefully I checked the wear in the right spots? Theres about an 1/8" left.

Not near clean but good enough for now


Back On


AND THEN of COURSE!!!

The Law of Airmatics: On any given beautiful day when a Mercedes-Benz owner wishes to admire his car through a nice drive, cleaning, servicing, or any other form of enjoyment, the airmatic system MUST counteract this happiness, and fail.




Oh well fun day. Thanks!

Thats always going to happen when you lift up the car. It did raise back up didnt it?
About the rotors they didnt look bad.....just need some resurfacing.

cameraman123

Yes it did, however I already was aware of a leak in the system. They shouldnt collapse if they are good shocks is what ive been told

What products do you guys use to clean stubborn brake dust off your wheels? I try to clean mine weekly but have been travelling and wasn't able to clean them before I went....

Simple Green, or similar with a sponge, just start scrubbing. Its not that hard to get off really

don't resurface MB rotors, its just not worth it.

new rotors are dirt cheap, just replace them.

You need to go ahead and replace those rotors, there to just to cheap of a fix for what could possible happen if you just "let it ride"

cameraman123

are they really that bad? The car has 41k miles and has already had a brake job...
