Vehicle Application and Placement

The presented brake caliper is designed for operation on the front left side of the vehicle. It is responsible for evenly pressing the pads against the disc, which translates to stable deceleration and correct braking force geometry on the front axle. Selecting the proper placement is crucial for maintaining safety and avoiding installation issues.

Technical Specifications of the TRW 295x28 Caliper

The TRW model designated as 295x28 is structurally adapted to work with discs of appropriate diameter and working thickness, ensuring proper pad-to-disc contact surface. This results in:

• maintaining adequate braking force on the front left wheel,
• reducing the risk of uneven wear of pads and discs,
• the system maintaining thermal stability under typical operating loads.

This type of solution is particularly important in mid-range and premium vehicles, where the braking system must perform consistently at higher speeds and vehicle weights.

Benefits of Using an Original Mercedes Caliper

Using a caliper dedicated to the Mercedes W204 allows for the preservation of the brake system's factory operating parameters. Key advantages include:

• Proper fitment to the steering knuckle and disc – reduces the need for modifications and speeds up installation.
• Compatibility with other system components – brake lines, pads, and discs selected for this model.
• The ability to utilize the existing brake system architecture without altering the vehicle's structure.

For users who wish to maintain their car in a configuration close to the factory original, such a caliper is a sensible choice from a technical and operational perspective.

Used Condition and Installation Recommendations

The item is offered as a used brake caliper, which means that a thorough inspection by a qualified service center is recommended before installation. In practice, it is advisable to pay attention to:

• system seal and piston condition,
• guide pin operation and any play,
• condition of mounting surfaces and threads.

When replacing the caliper, it is also recommended to inspect the brake discs and pads, and to bleed the system to fully utilize the potential of the newly installed component.

Caliber Selection by Numbers and Technical Support
