What It Helps Address

• Cracked or deteriorated caliper pin boots
• Brake drag caused by restricted caliper pin movement
• Moisture and debris exposure around guide pins
• Noise or uneven brake feel during service intervals
• Brake hardware replacement needs on Sprinter and Metris platforms

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the caliper pins, boots, and surrounding hardware before installation. Clean the guide pin area thoroughly and verify the vehicle position and notes against the fitment listing before ordering or servicing. For best results, replace worn brake hardware at the same time as friction service when the caliper pin boot shows damage.

Quality Assurance

Carlson brake service parts are built for brake hardware replacement applications where fitment accuracy matters. Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and position against the listed applications for the Carlson 16212 before installation.
