Here is the problem the car is a 1982 300SD. My dad registered it Saturday and noticed a brake line was leaking. So he bent up a new peice of tubing and replaced it along with bleeding the brakes and changing the fluid (DOT4). Thanks dad!
Anyway the pedal feels great but the brakes have no bite to them. I am used to the brakes in my SDL and being able to throw a passenger into the dash if I wanted to.
I suspect the brakes are getting tired, would worn discs cause this? My dad didn't really inspect them closely but he said the pads have about 50% left on them. He did say the front discs look tired. I will be putting another set of wheels on it tomarrow and plan on inspecting the brakes. Since this car is shot and I really don't want to spend more then I have to on it I am thinking about just putting on a new set of front rotors. Anyone run into this problem before? I don't want to spend $100 on rotors and not fix the problem.
Does anyone know if Autozone can get rotors for these things cheaper? I'll try Napa as well.
