I finally finished the complete front brake job on the 240D today, but...it's still not braking quite right. On the highway, with hard braking, I get a pulsation. There is also quite a bit of squealing. Here's what I did good and bad:
Good: I used genuine MB flexible hoses, grease seals, bearing grease, left front bearing set, left front steel brake line. I used scale to measure grease and dial indicator to set bearings. Bad: I used remanufactured calipers, duralast pads and duralast rotors. I did this in the interest of time. I should have been more patient and ordered the good stuff from Gary! I also did not torque the lug nuts but I did use the wimpy factory lug wrench which can't realistically apply too much torque. I also didn't step on it to tighten! I've never had an issue with this approach so I doubt that I warped the rotors but you never know. What could be going on? Literally everything was replaced!
