First posted on wheels n tyres but reposted here. Good pics!!!!!!!
I have read lots of threads about excessive brakepad/disc wear on MLs. I think this stems from the 4-ets system the ml uses for 4 wheel drive. There are good descriptions of this system elsewhere http://www.whnet.com/4x4/ets.html but suffice to say the 4 wheel drive relies on multiple brake applications to provide traction and stability. These cars are sourced from the USA so ECP dont seem to stock alternative parts but GSF do http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ pagid and textar.
See the following sites for DIY PICS :bannana: :bannana: http://www.furgasonhomes.com/ml/brakes98ml.htm AND http://www.petefagerlin.com/ML/brakes.htm for a pictorial on DIY ML98 and ML2003 brake pad/disc replacement
edit:- first link furgasonhomes etc doesnt work anymore!
