Common Issues: BrakesWebmaster2019-02-12T11:21:46+00:00
Brakes

Symptoms
Loss of breaking efficiency. Your brakes begin to screech, grate or pulse when pressure is put on to the brake pedal.

Diagnosis

The braking system on an SL107 consists of 4 disc brakes, 1 on each wheel. With time and use, these discs or rotors can become warped. When brake pads become too worn, they will make a grating or grinding noise whenever the brake pedal is applied.

The Cure

Regular replacement brake pads is advisable.
