Re: brakes
Hi Earle,
Agreed, Daimler's composite rotors and weak hubs are the problem. I've
slammed thousand of wheels on the Real American cars, and trucks without a
problem!

Good article. I was reading the latest JC Whitney motorcycle catalog at
lunch. During the week I had, among
other things, relined 25 sets of vintage Lotus race car brake shoes with NOS
Ferrodo asbestos linings. This stuff is nearly impossible to find and prized
by vintage racers.
The catalog shows brake shoes and pads, "made with non-asbestos low friction
linings to avoid sqeaking". Low friction brake linings? For those times when
you really don't want to stop? What next, high friction oil?

Re: brakes
I don't know if Jeep has learned anything useful from Mercedes, but my 300TD
uses soft nodular iron rotors that should be replaced rather than turned.
They seldom make it thru a second set of pads without warping, but they are
cheap, designed to be sacrificed.
They can be bought for as low as $17.30 each.
