Which brand is recommended for front brake pads and brake discs for a Mercedes E-Class W211?

[carBlacken]

Greetings, everyone.
The make and model of my automobile is a Mercedes E-Class W211 E280.

Upon coming to a halt, a noticeable screeching noise can be heard. The technician said that it would be more beneficial to replace both the brake pads and discs.

Is the Bosch brand suitable for my car?

I would much appreciate any guidance or recommendations.

Thank you.

Depending on the mileage of the discs, it may be necessary to just replace the brake pads. Bosch does not manufacture brake pads. I would recommend considering brands such as Brembo, Mintex, Ferrodo, and others.

As already said.

Authentic MB, Pagid, and Ate are other viable alternatives.

Since purchasing this vehicle, I have only driven around 2000 miles.

For Bosch brake pads I have discovered this item on eBay, and it seems that someone has recently included "w211" in the title.

We just replaced the brake discs and brake pads on my 1991 300CE. I purchased ATE discs.

We detected a shiver when braking, leading us to conclude that the discs were deformed.

However, there is still a little tremor, but much diminished. Are the new discs defective? Feasible, I presume.

The MB discs were twice as expensive, so I opted for a more affordable option.

I am now experiencing feelings of remorse.

I previously seen a video on the internet. I like Porsche over Mercedes-Benz. They conducted tests on three types of discs: Porsche, mid-range German (Brembo, Zimmermann?). I cannot recall the specific details of (Don't remember) and Monroe.

Monroe's financial status was impoverished, while the mid-range option was satisfactory. However, only the Porsche was really devoid of any trembling or vibration.

Are there any signs of looseness or excessive movement in the front control arms?

[Howard_silver]

A significant number of discs labelled as "GERMAN" are manufactured in other countries. It is advisable to search for discs that are really produced in Germany. ATE was once manufactured in Germany, although it is uncertain whether this is still the case. Porsche will not manufacture their own discs, but they may require stricter standards from the vendors they choose.

They are rather recent.

And I hope that the original MB is not included.

[Rashman4u]

Agreed with everything.

What about my ATE discs? Are they made in China? I currently have the rear ones in my inventory.

I just updated the front discs and pads on my E250. The cost was £134 for a set of visually appealing Mintex drilled and vented discs with corresponding pads. Although they function flawlessly, I did see that they were manufactured in China.

[Matt865]

Brembo is superior to Bosch.

[WordSmith]

Mercedes brake pads are reasonably priced, since they are original equipment (OE) and compatible with the vehicle.

Contact Mercedes Newcastle via their eBay store to inquire about the pricing.

While I do not dispute their results, I find it difficult to think that newly manufactured discs from a respectable company would induce vibrations in any vehicle, unless there are other suspension problems at play.

Based on my extensive experience of replacing discs on different vehicles with various brands, I have observed that shuddering only occurs with new discs if the shudder was already present before the disc replacement.

To clarify, based on my own experience, installing new brake discs does not consistently resolve the issue of vibration when braking, but it never triggers it.

[Rashman4u]

I share the same sentiments. The old ones evoke a greater sense of unease, whereas the modern ones just elicit a little tremor.

Do you have any suggestions for topics I should consider, you intelligent individuals?

I now have available in my inventory replacement front bearings as well as the Idler arm bushing kit with the part number A1244600119. Additionally, a few steering damper is included. However, there are no apparent indications of any issues, and the whole lower part of the vehicle was replaced in 2017, which was 70,000 km ago.

[AMG33D]

Irregular hub surface? Possibly as a result of rusting.

[Rashman4u]

When we installed the new discs and pads, it was a straightforward and standard procedure. The hubs exhibited no signs of rust, and all components disassembled and reassembled with great ease.

The only components that are older in that area are the Idler arm bushing kit and the bearings.

Inclined to substitute them.

[Geek2232]

Inspect the discs for any deviation from a perfectly round shape - displace the brake pads and rotate the discs. It is preferable to have a dial gauge, however if you are seeing significant vibration, it should be easily noticeable. Additionally, inspect the wheel bearings while you are doing the task.

As previously mentioned, rust or debris may be present at the interface between the mounting face and the hub. Can you please verify once more?

If you are certain that the discs are not the source of the problem, you may proceed to investigate other factors. The occurrence of the identical problem with two different sets of discs leads me to doubt that the actual component is the probable reason.

I must admit that I have had a considerable number of automobiles, including more than 20 Mercedes-Benz vehicles. However, I have encountered problems with warped or out-of-specification discs just once, to the best of my recollection.
