[QUOTE="finally, post: 397167, member: 18559"] Hi & thanks for all the replies, just another thought; for the w124 benz, 2 types of brake-pads are available; Hard or soft, Is there such difference for BMs (ori or oem)? I think a factor for this 'problem' is the age of the car, 13+ years + really low milege( 140k)!! WITH ALL front suspension components '96 year of manufacture. Mechie says "if shocks no leaking , no sound from front, tyre normal wear. DON't touch anything!!" (Btw the milege is certified true by AB for the doubters.) My Friend, a classic carnut says it's probably the 'bushes' says all his cars 'tighten up' after changing all the 'bushes', but it's a big job. So he agrees with Mechie, "when something is obviosly wrong THEN we go in and change what is necessary" Another friend E60 owner, (i have not had a chance to sit in his car but he has tried mine)said his ride is also like that !! BTW the classic carnut, says that what he feels when he is in my car is that the brake has 'bitten max' but the mass of the car ' lurches' very slightly forward & this causes the head to bob forward, therefore conclude it is a suspension/bush pproblem but more due to age rather than a straightforward damaged/defective part. Comments? Cheers!! [/QUOTE]
