GLE 2002 brakes problem?

Hi everyone, I have a question about brakes on GLE 02. I got squeals on my brakes and steering wheel vibartion when i'm braking on high speed. So i've changed brakes on front and rear and fixed squeals but I still have seering wheel vibration when I am braking. When i was changing brakes i noticed that right rear braking pads were worn down alot more than left rear and fronts. So i guess i got a problem with my braking system. Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks D.

You might have a sticking caliper. Did you make sure the slides were free before you put new pads in there? The vibration is warped rotors. You need to either replace them (fronts) or try to get them turned.

Hi , thanks for the reply, Slides are fine. Rotors are probably not fresh but good enough since i changed them last summer. On the front, rotors are 3 years old but look good and surface is like glass. Yeah another thing i noticed, if i spit on the front rotors they are hissing however it is not happening with the rears. What would it mean? D.

I assume you mean after braking a few times. That's normal since the fronts do 70% of the work (friction=heat). You can't tell if the rotors are warped by how they look. You have to measure the runout. Did you put on quality rotors last summer or cheap chinese ones?

Hi, The fronts are original, but rears not. I put cheap chinese crap on rears. D.
