As long as the have been greased correctly then it may go away after a few miles,,my SL did it for 100 miles or so

Hello,

Had a similar problem, I put mercedes pads and discs on which sorted it! I assume its couldn't be the fronts caused the noise?

when you have non merc disc/pads it tends to screach... This is a known issue i think
