Report: Replace Brake Rotors When Pads are Worn and Squeaking
Mercedes-Benz SL320 Problem
Model Years Affected: 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997
Verified
The brakes may begin to squeak at about the 50 percent wear point. This is due to the size and material used for the brake pads and rotors. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge. This will generally require replacement of the rotors when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
