Restore firm, even hydraulic braking pressure with the A1 CARDONE caliper — the Remanufactured Unloaded Disc Brake Caliper 19-1680, a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. A brake caliper houses the piston that squeezes the brake pads against the rotor to slow the wheel; as an "unloaded" unit, it is supplied without brake pads. Each caliper is expertly remanufactured to CARDONE quality standards, rebuilt with brand-new premium components and 100% pressure-tested for consistent brake performance.
- Pressure-tested rebuild: every unit is 100% pressure-tested and fitted with new premium internal components.
- New high-temp seals: rubber seals are replaced with new high-temperature EPDM rubber for extended service life.
- Durable piston: the piston is resistant to cracking and pitting and handles high loads.
- Hardware & finish: arrives with new bleeder screws and a protective cap plug on the brake port; a mounting bracket, banjo bolts, washers, and stainless steel clips and mounting pins are included where applicable. The unit is treated with a rust inhibitor and kept in the original equipment finish.
Replacing the calipers on both sides as a matched set is recommended for balanced, even braking.
