Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented caliper is dedicated for installation on the front right side of the vehicle. This placement is crucial for the correct distribution of braking forces and compatibility with the 295x28 brake disc. The caliper design is engineered for specific mounts and steering knuckle geometry, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of fitment issues.

The red paint not only improves the aesthetics of the wheel area but also allows for a quick visual assessment of the caliper's condition after installation, which is practical during service inspections and periodic brake system checks.

Technical and functional characteristics

As an element from the Brake calipers and carriers category, this model is responsible for the precise guidance of brake pads relative to the disc and the stable transfer of braking forces. The caliper construction is adapted to work with a disc 28 mm thick and 295 mm in diameter, ensuring adequate friction surface and braking efficiency under typical road conditions.

Original Mercedes origin means maintaining the proper body rigidity, correct brake fluid channel distribution, and compatibility with factory lines and mounts. As a result, the caliper can work with the vehicle's standard ABS/ESP system without the need for installation modifications.

Condition, verification, and service application

The item is offered as a used brake caliper, which allows for an economical repair of the braking system while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of part is particularly useful for:

• replacing a damaged or seized caliper after a mechanical failure,
• repairs after a collision in the area of the front right wheel,
• restoring the factory brake configuration in Mercedes W176 and W246 vehicles.

Before installation, a standard service procedure is recommended: checking for leaks, ensuring the free movement of pistons and guide pins, and replacing the brake fluid according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. This approach increases the safety and durability of the entire system.

Benefits of using an original caliper

Using an original caliper in the front right part of the braking system allows for maintaining factory braking parameters and proper cooperation with other components. Key advantages include:

• compatibility with factory mounts and brake lines,
• maintaining the correct operating characteristics with the 295x28 disc,
• consistent cooperation with vehicle safety systems,
• aesthetic, red finish improving the look of the wheel area.

For workshops and service centers specializing in the Mercedes brand, such a caliper is a practical solution for repairs where combining correct functionality with cost control is key.
