Keep the hydraulic braking system working on your classic Mercedes-Benz with the A1 CARDONE Disc Brake Caliper 19-909, an expertly remanufactured unit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1973-1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL and 450SLC. This A1 CARDONE brake caliper houses the piston that presses the brake pads against the rotor when you apply the pedal. It ships as an unloaded caliper, so brake pads are not included.
Signs your caliper may need replacing include brake fluid leaking at the caliper, a sticking or seized piston, uneven pad wear, or a brake that drags. If a failed caliper is the cause, this unit replaces it. Sold individually; for balanced braking, replace the calipers on the same axle as a matched pair.
