Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment before ordering and confirm the required electronic wear sensor for your vehicle. For listed Mercedes-Benz applications, the required sensor is 341-63004 (1). Inspect rotors, calipers, and pad contact surfaces during service, and replace worn components as needed to restore even braking performance. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse only serviceable hardware or source the correct hardware separately if your repair procedure calls for replacement.
