Brakes for 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300TE

How to Know When Your Brakes Need Replacing

Canada's rough winters, salty roads, and stop-start traffic can take a serious toll on your brakes. If you're hearing squeals, feeling vibrations, or noticing a longer stopping distance, it may be time to replace key brake components.

• Brake warning light illuminated
• High-pitched squealing or grinding sounds
• Soft or spongy brake pedal feel
• Car pulling to one side while braking
• Vibrations in the pedal or steering wheel
• Fluid leaks near wheels or undercarriage

What's Included in a Brake Kit?

Whether you're upgrading for performance or replacing worn parts, a complete brake kit often includes:

• Brake pads
• Rotors or drums
• Calipers
• Brake hardware and clips

Types of Brake Systems

Most modern vehicles use disc brakes, where calipers press pads against a spinning rotor. Older or rear wheels may use drum brakes. Vehicles also include an emergency brake and an ABS system for added safety on slippery roads.

How Often Should You Replace Brakes?

Brake lifespan depends on how and where you drive. Urban drivers tend to wear through pads faster due to frequent stops. Check your owner's manual, or inspect brakes annually for signs of wear.
