2002 CLK 320 Brake Imbalance

[Gus]

Hello everybody. Just had an MOT done and was hit with an advisory. The front brakes only just met the front brake imbalance requirements.
Imbalance 24%.
I have replaced the front discs and pads but it has made no differance.
Any ideas everyone

Did you grease the pads and clean up the carrier fully?

Do the pistons pull back all the way evenly on the caliper?

 

[Gus]

Cleaned the carriers greased back of pads & made sure pistons were not stiking

 

[BlackC55]

Just the back of the pads?

Grease the contact points where the carrier sits on the carrier too with decent copper grease.

Have you bled the brake lines/replaced the fluid?

Could be some trapped air on one side?
