Validity
Model series 213 without AMG![]()
Reason for change
Integration no longer necessary.
Reason for block
Complaint:
Juddering/shuddering of the brakes at the rear axle can be felt when braking.
Valid for cold juddering:
Cold juddering occurs when braking normally at any speed and is identifiable as pulsation of the brake pedal.
As opposed to cold juddering, thermal juddering occurs when braking sharply at high speeds.
This document is not valid for juddering related to heat!
Cause:
Grinding creates a thickness error in the brake disk.
Possible causes:
- Different torque due to improper tightening of the wheel threaded connection
- Wheel contact surface damaged or soiled
- Imbalance at the wheel
- Wheel suspension damaged
- Defective wheel flange
Remedy:
Always check the wheel assembly components:
1 Check operational condition of disk brake and brakepads (AP42.10-P-4256EW, see attachment), particularly the sliding elements.
2 Check the wheel for imbalance (including vertical runout if possible) and rebalance if necessary.
3 Ensure operational condition of wheel suspension.
4 Check wheel hub:
4.1 Disassemble left and right brake disks.
4.2 Check wheel hub batch number at left and right (see attachment "Rear axle wheel hub"): If the number is between
273 and 338, then the affected wheel hub must be replaced as per WIS.

- When replacing the wheel hub, damage code 35S03 20 must be used for the right and 35D03 20 for the left for the
entire repair.
- If the wheel hub is not affected, then use damage code for brake disk jolting 42201 H4.
5 If none of the components mentioned above are visibly or measurably damaged, then carry out the following repairs:
5.1 Replace brake disks.
Note:
- Please observe "Note on processing, transporting and storing compound brake disk" (AH42.10- P-9406-12LF, see
attachment)!
5.2 Replace brakepads.
6 Mount wheels as follows:
Note:
- An impact wrench must NOT be used for assembly!
6.1 Clean, check and protect the wheel threaded connection components from corrosion before assembly (see attachment AR40.10-P-1100-02A).
6.2 Mount wheel bolts crosswise by hand with max. 20 Nm (see picture in attachment "Wheel threaded connection
tightening sequence").
6.3 First tighten wheel bolts crosswise with a torque wrench by max. 70 Nm (see picture "Wheel threaded connection
tightening sequence").
6.4 Lower vehicle until the tires are prevented from spinning.
6.5 Tighten wheel bolts crosswise with a torque wrench to the vehicle-specific prescribed tightening torque (see picture "Wheel threaded connection tightening sequence").
6.6 Lower vehicle completely.
6.7 Retorque wheel bolts with vehicle-specific prescribed tightening torque.
