Greetings everyone,
I changed all four discs on my 2011 C180 due to significant wear, but retained the pads since they were installed by the previous owner and were essentially new.
I have acclimated them, nevertheless they continue to emit a little squeak under braking, although not consistently.
I believe the brake discs are of inferior quality (the name is unknown since the garage installed them for a total of Β£250), and I have read online that low-cost discs and pads tend to produce more squeaking sounds.
Should I write off that expense and invest in quality pads and discs all around, while also replacing the dust shields concurrently? I want to do this independently with assistance; what instruments will I need?
