Mercedes Disc Brake Caliper Repair Kit - Genuine Mercedes 0004217286

Product Information

Disc brake caliper repair kits typically consist of seals, dust boots, and miscellaneous hardware that is often overlooked but critical to proper brake caliper operation. If these caliper components are damaged, or if uneven brake pad wear is observed, a new caliper repair kit should be installed. Fresh seals and dust boots should also be installed on every caliper rebuild. Higher mileage calipers, calipers with unknown service history, or brake systems with poor brake fluid conditions can also benefit from the components in a brake caliper repair kit.

• Ripped dust boots
• The caliper piston not moving freely in the caliper bore or seized in the bore
• Uneven brake pad wear
• Excessive noise under light braking

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.
