Is that a new OEM or rebuilt?

Check Your Calipers Too!

The Legends employ a floating brake caliper design that sometimes tends to stick/freeze-up. After noticing that the inner pad wore a lot more on the rear brakes than the outer pad, I took apart the calipers and cleaned & re-lubricated them to silky-smoothness. I also went ahead and did the same with the front calipers too. The brakes work a LOT better now. Better than ever before, in fact!

Nippon master cylinder. It was the same one I had on my car so hopefully it was oem. If not, it works the same

That site is awesome. I get all my parts for the Mercedes there. It gets here real fast too, and I started to get my OEM Legend parts there too. Good call with the site:giggle: :giggle:
