Nugeon 97-02709A front left brake caliper for the 1981-1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL and other vehicles squeezes the pads against the rotor to slow the wheel. This is a remanufactured Nugeon brake caliper of the fixed type, sold individually for the front left wheel.
A caliper that sticks or leaks can show up as uneven pad wear, the car pulling to one side under braking, or brake fluid around the wheel. These signs alone do not prove the caliper is the problem, since a worn tire can pull a car to one side as well.
Other vehicles it fits include the 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SLC and the 1979-1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL. This listing is one caliper for the front left; the front right caliper is a separate part, and the two front calipers are normally replaced together.
