Product Overview

This MPA Electrical brake pad set is engineered for front axle replacement on Mercedes-Benz S320 and related W140/W126-era sedans listed above. The semi-metallic compound is selected for like-new stopping power, while the included shims and adhesive-backed shim layer help reduce brake noise and vibration during operation. Part number 1000-0578M is a direct-fit option for drivers servicing front disc brakes on these Mercedes-Benz applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Squealing or noisy front brakes
• Reduced stopping response from worn pads
• Brake dust buildup from aging friction material
• Uneven pad wear on front disc brakes
• Vibration caused by worn pad shims or hardware interfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm front caliper type before installation, especially on 1994-1999 Mercedes-Benz S320 models with ATE calipers. Inspect rotors, caliper slides, and pad contact points before fitting new pads. Brake lubricant is not included, and mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or replace related service components as needed during brake work. Part number 1000-0578M should be installed as part of a complete front brake inspection and service.
