Detailed Description

DFC Disc Brake Hardware Kit 340-74023 is cataloged for rear brake service on Mercedes-Benz vehicles with multiple brake system variations. The fitment data includes long-tail applications such as rear disc brake hardware for 1986-1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL, rear brake hardware for 1977-1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D with ATE front and rear calipers, and rear brake hardware for 1994-1995 Mercedes-Benz C280 with 2-pin rear pads and ASR. This makes it a practical match for technicians working on older Mercedes-Benz chassis where caliper type and production date matter.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise caused by worn or missing rear hardware
• Uneven pad movement during rear brake service
• Fitment issues on Mercedes-Benz rear caliper applications with specific caliper types
• Brake service repeat work caused by reusing fatigued hardware
• Rear brake maintenance on classic Mercedes-Benz sedans and coupes

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear caliper type, pad style, and vehicle production date before ordering. Several listed applications require ATE calipers, ASR, traction control, or specific front-caliper combinations, so match the vehicle to the exact fitment row. Inspect the brake pads, rotors, and caliper condition during installation to confirm the rest of the system is service-ready.

Quality Assurance

Dynamic Friction catalogs this DFC Disc Brake Hardware Kit under a defined Mercedes-Benz rear brake application list. Confirm the part number 340-74023 against the vehicle’s brake configuration before installation.
