Definitely is felt but isn't severe or anywhere near feeling uncontrollable. Feels like a sticky caliper. Sure enough there's a couple mm wear difference between brake pads. Of course my independent shop is recommending brand new OEM calipers, $1200 a pop, $3000 for the entire job. If they are truly head and shoulders above the other options I'll just bite the bullet. But in doing some research I found a couple of options. Re-manufactured calipers via fourbyfourclub $500 each before shipping: http://fourbyfourclub.com/W463Brakes/W463CaliperFL.htm http://fourbyfourclub.com/W463Brakes/W463CaliperFR.htm or New ATE/Perrot calipers via Eurotruck Importers $334.80 each before shipping: http://www.eurotruck-importers.com/index.php?main_page=product_info... http://www.eurotruck-importers.com/index.php?main_page=product_info... Are there any options I'm missing? Does anyone have any experience with the products above? Any input would be greatly appreciated. | ||

I'm betting that yours are vented. You had best check for sure. | ||

If the problem persists I'll go new OEM but don't expect to need to. | ||
