Interesting that Mercedes used a drum brake system inside the rotors for the e-brake.. Especially for a new car, that is a likely a less than 6 year old car. I love the EPB that Audi has, it doesn't require adjusting, or cables that rust.etc. I love the diesels but at $5.25 right now, my TDI is on the bench.

I don't think you can tell the alignment by eye. Those tyres should last 20k miles if used normally, without burning rubber, and with good alignment. They are tricky to align. Be in mind you can set camber and toe. These cars tend to gain negative camber with weight or if rear springs are a bit sagged (this happens quite often as they are soft). To me this car has too much neg camb and/or too much toe out. Probably both, it is the normal tendency as they eage. This all given the bushes are ok. There are lots of them back there. Also, I think is a bad idea to run a 4wd with such a thread difference. You shoud rotate an maintain comoarable wear. Otherwise you risk damaging the transfer box, or what ever it has to share torque between axels

Looks like pretty even tire wear to me with perhaps too much negative camber in the rear suspension. I’m wondering if there is a problem with vectoring torque to the rear too much resulting in more wear in the back. I’m not sure though how Merc handles front rear torque on their AWD cars.

The weird piston material you were referring to is phenolic resin (not sure i spelled it correctly)

I know what you’re saying but my friends wife drives it like a grandma it’s an awd Diesel and it’s Michelin 65k miles top of the line tires. I know it wasn’t burnout wear

After a while you whack the tool with an actual hammer as you do end up hurting your hands.

Nah ,if it's too tight for hand hammer, grab a big box wrench n slide it onto ratchet for more leverage

Did you put more blue lock tight on the carrier? And shouldn't you Crack the bleader when compressing the brake piston?

Some people love locktite, I’ve never felt the need unless it’s a special application where I think I need it and for the second question no

On the bleeder question, just pop lid off master cylender while compressing calipers
