Keep your front brakes quiet, aligned, and moving freely with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Hardware Kit (P/N 340-63008). This front-position kit supplies the clips, springs, and retaining hardware that locate the pads and let them slide smoothly, and it installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1979-1985 Mercedes-Benz 300SD, 1984-1985 380SE, 1984-1985 500SEL, 1979-1980 280SE, 1981-1983 380SEL, and 1979-1980 450SEL — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Because worn or corroded hardware can cause noise, uneven pad wear, and sticking, refreshing it every time you install new pads helps the whole front brake work as intended.
Installing a fresh disc brake hardware kit alongside new pads is a low-cost step that supports proper pad movement and even wear on the listed applications.
What does this brake hardware kit include?
It supplies the clips, springs, and retaining hardware that locate the front disc brake pads and allow them to slide freely within the caliper bracket for the listed applications.
Is this a front or rear kit?
This is a front-position disc brake hardware kit, per the catalog. Confirm your specific model against the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.
Which vehicles does P/N 340-63008 fit?

Should I replace the hardware when I install new pads?
