Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Style
> Your Mercedes-Benz's disc brake rotors are what your brake pads grab onto to bring you to a halt. Over time, they cop a beating from heat and friction, and can wear thin, warp, or even crack – especially if you're giving it heaps in an AMG, C350, CLK, or SLK. Don't get caught out with a dodgy WOF!

Signs It's Time for New Rotors
• Your brake pedal's doing the Macarena (pulsating or vibrating).
• The brakes are squealing like a stuck pig or grinding like rusty metal tracks.
• Taking longer than usual to stop.
• Rotors looking like the surface of the moon – cracked or deeply grooved.
• Brake pads wearing unevenly.

WOF Worries?
Bald rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF. They need to be above the minimum thickness and free from cracks to pass the test.
