1985 Benz 300sd - wheel & brake question?

14" or 15" wheels for this application??


The vehicle has anti-lock brake sysytem and at low speeds the brake system makes a series of 'boing' noises and the brake pedal will go down pretty far when the brakes are applied. The vehicle does stop.


The brakes act like the rotors are warped and pulse at all speeds. Could this be related to the abs?|||if your brake petal goes all the down likely it means your brakes are so worn down they are almost gone but to have them replaced would cost a lot so i would recommend looking around for a newer vehicle no older then 5 years but call it a hunch|||with the pedal going all the way down it sounds like either a leak, bad master cylinder, or a blown wheel cylinder on the rear........


A blown wheel cylinder is the most likely cause......look at the inside of your rear tires to see if there is brake fluid on them.....it will look like a dark pattern flung out from the center of the tire.........if you see that then you most likely have a bad wheel cylinder.........


bottom line is that you could throw parts at it hoping to solve the problem or you could take it to a pro and get it diagnosed and fixed for less!!!!|||Could be air in the hydraulic system. try loosening all the nuts near the brakes a little bit and press the brake pedal until all the bubbles are released and only the hydraulic fuel (red) comes out. Tighten the screws again.


Air can be compressed that's why your pedal is so low.


Good luck.|||get new brakes it will save your life|||your abs is working when there is a judder throughthe peddle
