Vehicle Application and Placement

The presented caliper is intended for installation on the rear right side of the vehicle. This placement is crucial for the correct routing of brake lines, the operation of the mechanism, and compatibility with the caliper bracket and brake disc. Choosing the correct caliper based on its mounting side minimizes the risk of system geometry issues and ensures proper interaction with other brake components.

Original Origin and Product Category

The caliper belongs to the Brake Calipers and Brackets category, meaning it is the component responsible for generating clamping force of the pads against the disc and for its stable mounting within the system. The product is designed for Mercedes vehicles, ensuring it retains factory operating parameters, correct mounting hole spacing, and compatibility with the suspension and hub design in W169 and W245 models.

Characteristics of a Used Caliper

As a used part, the brake caliper offers an economical solution for users who want to maintain the braking system in good technical condition while controlling service costs. This type of part allows for:

• maintaining the original braking system design,
• compatibility with factory brackets and lines,
• reduced installation time due to dimensional accuracy.

Prior to installation, standard servicing procedures are recommended, including checking the condition of the guide pins, seals, and bleeding the system after installation.

Benefits of Using an Original Right Rear Caliper

Using a dedicated caliper for the rear right side of the vehicle translates to stable brake performance on the rear axle. A correctly selected component helps maintain:

• even distribution of braking force between the left and right sides,
• consistent operation with assistance systems (e.g., brake force distribution),
• proper interaction with the pads and disc intended for this configuration.

As a result, the braking system maintains predictable vehicle behavior during braking, which is important for both everyday driving and emergency situations.

Selection, Reference Numbers, and Technical Support

This brake caliper has an assigned OEM part number and related interchange numbers, facilitating precise identification of the component in service catalogs and parts selection systems. When selecting, it is advisable to use the vehicle manufacturer's designations to avoid errors between body, engine, or braking system variants.
