Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Pin Kit P/N:14000
Keep your calipers sliding smoothly and your pads seating square with the Carlson disc brake caliper pin kit (P/N 14212). This kit installs at the front or rear caliper position on many vehicles, including the 2008-2019 Ford E-350 Super Duty, 2008-2012 Mercedes-Benz C300 and 2006-2010 Audi A8 Quattro. Because brakes work as a system, industry service experts agree that when the friction material is due, the hardware is too — worn or seized guide pins can let a caliper bind, causing uneven pad wear and noise. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
If binding, dragging, or worn guide pins are behind your uneven pad wear or brake noise, this kit replaces them. Best practice is to service both sides of an axle together for even, balanced braking.

What does the Carlson disc brake caliper pin kit do?
The guide pins let the caliper slide freely so the brake pads meet the rotor at the correct angle, supporting even, quiet braking. Fresh hardware is recommended whenever the friction material is replaced.
Does this kit fit the front or rear brakes?
The catalog lists this kit for both front and rear caliper positions on the applications shown. Confirm the correct position for your specific vehicle in the Buyer's Guide tab.
Will this fit my Mercedes-Benz?
It fits many Mercedes-Benz models, including the 2008-2012 Mercedes-Benz C300. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year and model.
What are signs the caliper guide pins need replacing?
Signs may include uneven or accelerated pad wear, brake noise, or a caliper that binds or drags. If worn or seized guide pins are the cause, this kit replaces them.
Should I replace both sides at once?
Best practice is to service the hardware on both sides of the same axle together so braking stays even and balanced. Inspect and replace as directed by the service procedure.
