Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Uneven braking caused by a worn or sticking front left caliper
• Brake drag from internal caliper wear or corrosion
• Poor pedal response related to hydraulic caliper condition
• Brake pull during stops on Mercedes-Benz 300D or 300TD models
• Reduced braking consistency from an aging fixed caliper assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left position, caliper type, and vehicle year before installation. Inspect brake hoses, pads, rotors, and hydraulic connections for wear or contamination while servicing the caliper. Because pads are not included, confirm pad condition and replace as needed to complete the brake repair. Bleed the brake system after installation and check for leaks, proper pedal feel, and even wheel rotation.
