What's this on E55?
(See Red Arrow) Anyone know what this brace is for on 2002 E55? The brace is only on driver's side. My 1998 E430 did not have this???

JamE55,
I painted the calipers about 2 weeks ago. As mentioned the brace is only on drivers side and my previous W210 did not have it. It is strange - only one side and not on my previous E-Class.
Wreck,
The spring pads are at the top in that housing. I have 3 bumps all around.

Kev,
I think you should find a way to paint the AMG logo black or white on your brakes. just a thought.

did u get your car new?
Have you looked at others to see if they all have it? Id be curious if all (or any) other like models have the same thing. Seems a bit odd but Im not an engineer so could be for support somewhere. Can anyone else check their car and see if they have the same thing?

Nice one KEV! Why blue though and not red? IMO red just stands out better but that's just me.

Hi Kev
I just looked it up on the parts microfiche. It is listed as an "impact absorber" for 99 and up E430 and E55.
I looked at an '01 430 and it had it also.

Strange that this 'impact absorber' is not on the passenger side. Curious, what about the 99+ E320? Thanks.

I geuss that's a compliment (?)
Thanks Kev,
I am a car nut first, You actually sent me out in the lot looking under cars for the "impact absorber" and then to the parts dept. to identify it. Why not on the passenger side? No idea.
P.S. I used to be a "stinkin real estate agent", i figured car
sales was social climbing. Hey, could be worse, i could be an attorney. Just joking, no law suits please.
