Cardone 19-B2953 Disc Brake Caliper - Front Left

OE-Style Front Left Brake Caliper

The Cardone 19-B2953 is a remanufactured unloaded disc brake caliper with bracket for the front left position. It is built for Mercedes-Benz applications that use a steel piston and OE-style mounting layout, including select C-Class, CLK-Class, and SLK-Class models.

Cardone’s Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket line focuses on direct-fit brake hydraulics with the bracket included where applicable, making it a practical choice for front brake service on the Mercedes-Benz C280, C350, CLK320, CLK350, SLK280, and SLK300.

Product Details

This Cardone brake caliper is remanufactured to OE-style standards and pressure-tested for consistent brake performance. The caliper body is treated with a rust inhibitor and kept in the original equipment finish, while new premium components are used throughout the remanufacturing process. The unloaded design means pads are not included, and the bracket is supplied on applications that require it. This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz 0014209683 and 0034202383 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Uneven braking from a sticking or worn front left caliper
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Soft or inconsistent pedal feel caused by caliper wear or seal failure
• Poor brake response from piston corrosion, pitting, or cracking
• Noise or drag related to damaged caliper hardware or mounting components
