Product Information

Mercedes-Benz Brake Calipers diagram for SLK250, SLK350

A disc brake caliper bracket (also called a caliper mounting bracket) is the metal component that attaches the brake caliper to the vehicle’s suspension or steering knuckle.

• Uneven Brake Pad Wear: Sticking guide pins or a bent bracket can cause one pad to wear faster than the other.
• Brake Noise (Grinding, Squealing, or Clunking): Loose, worn, or damaged bracket hardware can allow the caliper or pads to shift during braking.
• Vibration or Pulsation When Braking: A misaligned bracket can cause uneven rotor contact.

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
