Glad you caught this, but I'm confused. I don't understand how a missing caliper bolt would make the wheel wiggle. There's no relationship between the caliper and the wheel as far as the wheel's position. Please elaborate. Dan > On Mar 7, 2015, at 8:47 PM, clay via Mercedes wrote: > > M

Months ago, #1 boy and I installed new rotors on his w140. We had already done the pads long before. About three weeks ago, the driver side front wheel began groaning when he would shift from reverse to drive. Around the same time the boy had been doing 50 work weeks on the 0400-1400 shift.
