Carlson 13331Q Disc Brake Hardware Kit - Front

Carlson Front Disc Brake Hardware Kit

Carlson Part Number 13331Q is a front disc brake hardware kit for select Mercedes-Benz SUV applications. It is built around brake pad abutment clip design that uses PTFE to reduce friction and a rubber compound to help minimize brake noise.

Key Features

• Front disc brake hardware kit for service replacement
• PTFE-treated clip design helps reduce friction at the pad contact points
• Rubber compound helps control brake noise during operation
• Supports brake system service where worn abutment clips need replacement
• Carlson Part Number 13331Q for application matching

Detailed Description

Brakes work as a system, and the contact hardware plays an important role in how the pads move and settle in the caliper bracket. Carlson 13331Q is a disc brake hardware kit engineered for front brake service on Mercedes-Benz ML320, ML430, and ML350 models listed below. The clip design uses PTFE to lower friction while the rubber compound helps reduce noise, making it a practical choice when servicing the front brake hardware on these vehicles. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 2003-2005 Mercedes-Benz ML350, front, D760.
• Fits 1998-2003 Mercedes-Benz ML320, front, D760.
• Fits 1998-1999 Mercedes-Benz ML430, front, D760.

Common Issues This Part Helps Address

• Brake pad movement caused by worn abutment clips
• Brake noise from deteriorated hardware contact points
• Uneven pad seating in the front brake assembly
• Increased friction at the pad-to-bracket interface

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the front caliper bracket, pad contact surfaces, and related brake components before installation. Replace worn or corroded hardware during brake service to maintain consistent pad movement and proper fitment on Mercedes-Benz ML320, ML430, and ML350 front applications. Confirm the D760 brake configuration before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Carlson brake hardware is designed with material choices that support smoother pad contact and reduced noise in service applications. Part Number 13331Q is built for the listed front fitments and should be matched to the vehicle’s brake configuration before installation.
