Common Issues Addressed

• Excess brake dust on rear wheels.
• Squealing or noisy brake operation.
• Reduced braking consistency from worn rear pads.
• Need for a rear pad replacement with included shims and lubricant.
• Brake service on vehicles that require a separate wear sensor purchase.

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment by model, year, and package notes before ordering. Some applications require a wear sensor sold separately, and certain Mercedes-Benz models are not for Sport Package vehicles. The included hardware and brake lubricant simplify the brake service, but the wear sensor requirement must be checked against the specific vehicle listing.
