Product Details

Nugeon’s Reman Caliper w/ Installation Hardware line focuses on restoring brake hydraulic function with application-specific remanufactured components. Part number 97S02768A is a rear left disc brake caliper for Mercedes-Benz ML430, ML55 AMG, and ML500 models listed above. The caliper uses a two-piston aluminum design with a 2-inch (40 mm) piston diameter, a powder-coated silver finish, and a plug-style inlet fitting. It is supplied without pads, bracket, or anti-squeal shims.

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

Common Brake Issues This Caliper Can Address

• Uneven rear braking caused by a sticking or seized caliper
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Poor pedal feel from worn internal seals or piston wear
• Corrosion-related caliper binding on the rear left corner
• Brake drag or reduced wheel rotation from a failing hydraulic caliper

Installation Notes

Verify rear left fitment by matching the vehicle year, model, and housing cast numbers before installation. Inspect the brake hose connection, bleeder screw threads, and mounting surfaces for wear or contamination. Transfer or replace any vehicle-specific brake pad hardware as needed, and bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air from the hydraulic circuit.

Quality Assurance

This Nugeon remanufactured caliper is rebuilt for application-specific brake service and finished with a powder coat to support long-term durability in normal road use. The aluminum housing, included dust boots, and supplied bleeder screw help restore proper caliper operation on the specified Mercedes-Benz ML rear left applications.
