What can cause my ML320 to shake when I apply the brakes?

If your ML320 shakes when you brake, you could be dealing with warped rotors, faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, or loose or worn suspension parts. Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.

How many brake pads are on my ML320?

On most cars, each axle is equipped with four brake pads — two per front wheel and two per back wheel. The front wheels usually work harder to help stop your ML320, so don’t be surprised if your front brake pads wear out faster than your rear brake pads.

How often do I need to replace my ML320 brake pads?

Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your ML320 brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.

Does brake fluid leak when the car is off?

Your ML320 brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.

Replacing Your Mercedes-Benz ML320’s Brake Pads

When should you change the brake pads on your 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML320? It depends on you and your driving style. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. Your brake pad replacement interval also depends on what kind of brake pads you have on your ML320 right now. Are you still driving with the same pads as when you bought the car? Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Thankfully, when you get Mercedes-Benz ML320 brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.
