Meanwhile, the EBC pads did *not* remedy the brake squeal. In fact, it is now non-stop. I will say, however, that pedal feel and braking were vastly improved over OEM. After scouring through this forum though, it would seem that brake squeal is an inherent problem with the M-Class MB.

Prior to my account here being mysteriously deleted
someone had suggested to me in PM that he fabbed a piece of metal as a pad shim that eliminated this noise completely. But, as I mentioned, my earlier account was deleted along with the PM suggestion How is MB going to fix it? MB says that all their cars do that. They actually had the nerve to tell me it was the way I drive my car! Keep in mind that the car is almost 2 years old and only has 12k miles on it. The car has *definitely* been pampered. What I find so mysterious is that none of my Nissans do this. Needless to say, my "Experience of Ownership" (as it so boldly stated on my MB welcome pack) has not been the greatest.
Meanwhile, I will install *the* filter for this more civilized forum so that others too may enjoy the experience. I only wish MB would OWN up to the problem.
