[QUOTE="ssmann, post: 395537, member: 18956"] Hi, I have had similar problems before on my E34 and W124. Try the following: - 1. Skim your disk brakes - can't do it too often and ensure its not too thin, or can crack on hard impact 2. The mechanism that holds the brake pads to the disk brake needs servicing so as it applies gentle and smooth pressure consistently 3. When you brake, either slam the brakes or gradually apply pressure. Do not apply and release continuously, this will result in built up pressure that would cause uneasy brake feeling 4. Check mountings, this can be a subset of poor mounting This has been my experience on E34 and W124 Merc. Hope it helps you. [/QUOTE]
