About Brake Padss
The brake pads are two pieces, per wheel, made of metal lined with a heat resistant material.
The Mercedes-Benz brake pads are housed in the brake caliper which straddles the brake disc, one pad on either side of the disc. When the footbrake is applied the pads are forced hydraulically via pistons onto the spinning discs to which the wheels are attached consequently causing the vehicle to reduce speed.
Brake pads need to be renewed periodically depending on conditions and usage. Signs that the pads need to be renewed can include noise when applying the brakes and a deteriorating
performance of the brakes on some makes and models the pads incorporate a wire attached to the pad that sends a signal to a warning light in the control panel to warn of the need to check the pads.
Due to the high energy forces, heat, friction and stresses involved with the braking system in the area of the discs and wheels, it's of the utmost importance that all components are in good order. Replacing this part with the Mercedes-Benz brake pads will ensure complete compatibility with the make and model of your vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz trivia
- The longest sedan vehicle available in today's car market is the S-Class Pullman, at a mind-boggling 6.5 metres long. Bear in mind that the average length of a sedan is only 4.7 metres!
- Mercedes are responsible for a lot of 'firsts' in their long history, including the world's first production of a diesel car. Very impressive, but it only had three wheels. Production stopped pretty quickly in the late 1950s.
- The Popemobile is a Mercedes Benz M-Class SUV. It's not a standard model, however, and has some added features like an inbuilt oxygen system and bulletproof glass.
- Ever noticed that you've never heard a Mercedes rattle or make any kind of squealing sound? You never will either, because all of their vehicles are welded in up to 10,000 places! You're not going to find a loose nut or bolt rolling around.
- We all recognise that distinctive Mercedes logo, but did you know that the three points of the star represent air, land, and water? There was a point where they considered adding another point to represent space, but they decided against it in the end.
