I think so, I've had a single replaced and had the car pull noticeably on braking afterward. Not dangerous I don't think but annoying. -Curt Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2010 13:32:11 + From: "Brian Toscano" To: "Mercedes Okie Benz Mailing List" Subject: Re: [MBZ] 1

Dan, The guys are right... its either the hoses or the caliper causing the problem. But, given the age of your car, you need new brake hoses no matter what. Replace all four while you're doing this job. You'll be very impressed with the improved pedal feel, and you'll reduce the chances of havi
