Just Paid Top $$$ For Brake Repairs I Hear Noises???

I just got my 87 300SDL from storage it sat up for 2 months, because I was enjoying my new prerunner, now I have it stored for a couple months safely in my moms garage, now I don't have to park ALL the WAY @ the end of the parking lot and walk.lol I don't want any door dings yet
Last week I had my mom drop my Mercedes off at her friends shop back home, they are just a small repair shop but she takes all her cars their so I trust that they did the work right. I had them replace the front wheel bearings, new rotors, brake pads, sensors, and both front calipers, and front shocks, all parts were Mercedes Benz except the rebuilt calipers that came with a lifetime warranty. Now after spending all that money I can hear a screech screech scratch every time the caliper/bads gets to a certain point, and sometimes a rubbing noise, which is not that loud but if you let the window down you can hear it, and its very embarrassing driving a squeaky Mercedes...The noise goes away if I barely lightly apply pressure to the brake pedal, its on the left front. I jacked the car up and turned the tire its not binding but it makes that noise? I know its not the power brake booster I had that problem on my 500SL it was making a hissing noise under the dash board and it was binding the brakes... Also I noticed that the wheels seemed to get very hot both front ones did?

Her mechanic showed her that the pads on the left front were all the way down and thats what made the sensor come on, but the pads on the right front were 60% left I was certain that it wasnt 6 months ago i replaced the front pads, he told her that the caliper was bad and that it was best to change both of them. These Mercedes can make you so mad after you spend all the money they still arent right, I have threatened to sell her if she didnt fly right but i know I will regret it so I just keep Pouring money into her.
I knew I wasnt ready to sell the car, But needed a Good excuse To get the Toyota I always wanted so I Did it...

Drive around for a couple of weeks and see if it goes away. The new pads and rotors have to get to know each other (so to speak) before they'll quiet down.

You mention that all the parts were Mercedes; are you certain that the replacement pads are Mercedes or good OEM pads? I had a noise similar to what you describe when I tried a set of those so-called "lifetime" pads. They were horrible! I replaced them after about a month with pads bought from the dealer.

My other guess would be that they did not adequately apply brake quiet (aka anti-squeak compound) when installing the new pads.. butif they're a reputable shop they should have done this.
