[MBZ] Replacing brakes one side only?
Last summer I replaced my rear brakes on the 82 240D. I replaced everything, rotors, pads, calipers, flexible brake hoses and the left steel brake line leading to proportioning valve. I used reman calipers. I've always had good luck with these until now. The left rear caliper pistons seized up. The inboard side was not making contact with the rotor and thus that side of the rotor was very rusted. The outboard side was not releasing thereby causing the brakes to heat up like mad. l replaced the caliper and rotor today. The parts were free as they were under warrantee. The caliper has a lifetime and the rotor two years. The right sided brakes looked just fine with minimal pad wear. Now I know that you must replace brakes in pairs but I didn't as they are only one yr old and as I explained the right looked fine. I then took the car for a spin and I now hear a squeal on the right, it is worst when braking. Could this be related to inequality in braking power? Could this be caused by replacing only one side?

Re: [MBZ] Replacing brakes one side only?
I had this recently on my '84 190D when I replaced the pads, calipers etc on the rears. It went away after a couple hundred miles. I think the pads were maybe slightly oversized. Now on reflection I realize you're saying the squealing is coming from the good side. Maybe a delayed failure? Did you bleed that side again? -Curt Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:14:44 -0400 From: dsereta...@yahoo.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: [MBZ] Replacing brakes one side only?

Yes, I bled all four calipers.
