IML: Brakes Pulling

["Eric" <gearhead@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As well, on a Mercedes mailing list I'm on, a few years back it was noted 
that a govt study showed that rotors do not necessarily need to be turned 
unless they are warped. There was no appreciable difference in braking 
ability nor in wear.

For the pulling to one side, most often steering components or bushings in 
the suspension are at fault. If one wheel turns by hand ALOT more 
difficulty, maybe therein lies the trouble, but it would have to be alot of 
resistance. Maybe a seized caliper? Dick B. is spotlessly on the mark as a 
rule, hoses should be renewed periodically.

If you notice in the service manual that it says the rotors must not be =
turned. Some think this is B/S & any rotor should be able to be turned.
