This set delivers reliable stopping power, low noise, and long wear life while maintaining the exact fitment and performance characteristics expected from a genuine Mercedes-Benz part.

Key Features

• Exact OEM Fitment: Engineered to match the original specifications of the Mercedes-Benz rear disc brake system, ensuring seamless integration without modification.
• High‑Quality Friction Material: Utilizes a premium composite that balances grip and durability, providing consistent braking performance across a wide temperature range.
• Low Noise & Vibration: Advanced pad design reduces squeal and chatter, delivering a quiet ride even under heavy braking conditions.
• Extended Wear Life: Optimized compound composition extends the service life of the pads while maintaining peak performance.
• Easy Installation: Comes with all necessary hardware for straightforward replacement on the rear axle, compatible with both manual and automatic transmission setups.

Compatibility Overview

The ABS 37940 set is tailored for a broad spectrum of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Below is an overview of the most common models that accept this brake pad configuration:

Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Secure the vehicle on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and place wheel chocks behind the front wheels.
2. Remove the Wheel: Use a lug wrench or impact gun to loosen the rear wheel nuts. Lift the vehicle with a jack and support it with jack stands before removing the wheel entirely.
3. Access the Brake Assembly: Remove any caliper brackets or retaining clips that may obstruct access to the brake pads.
4. Extract Old Pads: Slide out the worn pads from the caliper. Note their orientation for correct installation of the new set.
5. Install New Pads: Place the ABS 37940 pads into the caliper, ensuring they sit flush against the rotor surface. Align any wear indicators with the rotor edge if applicable.
6. Reassemble Components: Reinstall brackets or clips, then replace the wheel and hand‑tighten the lug nuts.
7. Lower the Vehicle: Carefully lower the car from the jack stands. Use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel nuts to the manufacturer’s specified torque setting.
8. Test Drive: Perform a short drive at low speed, applying gentle braking to confirm proper pad engagement and absence of noise or vibration.

Performance Benefits

The ABS 37940 brake pads are engineered to deliver:

• Consistent Stopping Power: Maintains optimal friction coefficient throughout the pad life, ensuring reliable braking from low speeds to high‑speed deceleration.
• Reduced Brake Fade: High thermal conductivity of the pad material dissipates heat efficiently, preventing performance loss during repeated or sustained braking.
• Quiet Operation: The pad’s surface texture and compound composition minimize noise, providing a refined driving experience.
• Long-Term Durability: Designed to resist wear under varied driving conditions, from city commuting to spirited performance driving.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect brake pads and rotors every 10,000 miles or during routine service intervals.
• Check for uneven pad wear; if one side is significantly thinner, consider replacing the entire set to maintain balanced braking.
• Avoid driving with a damaged or excessively worn pad, as this can compromise safety and damage the rotor.
• Keep brake fluid levels within manufacturer specifications to ensure proper hydraulic pressure.
