Mercedes Disc Brake Caliper Guide Pin - Genuine Mercedes 0009904010

Product Information

A disc brake caliper is a crucial part of a car's braking system that clamps brake pads onto a rotating disc (rotor) to slow down the wheel when the brakes are applied; signs of a failing caliper include: the car pulling to one side when braking, uneven brake pad wear, leaking brake fluid, unusual noises during braking, and a spongy brake pedal feeling

• Pulling to one side: If one caliper is malfunctioning, it can cause the car to pull to one side when braking.
• Uneven brake pad wear: A faulty caliper can lead to uneven wear on the brake pads.

About Genuine Mercedes

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.
