Application and Compatibility

The presented caliper body belongs to the category of Brake Calipers and Brackets and is intended for the front right side of the vehicle. The design prepared for a 360x26 mm disc allows for its use in AMG sports braking systems, where thermal stability, load resistance, and repeatable braking force are crucial.

Its placement on the front passenger side of the vehicle means this component is responsible for a significant portion of the braking force, especially during intense deceleration. Proper selection of the caliper body to match the disc diameter and thickness is essential for even pad wear, correct clamping force, and avoiding vibrations and overheating.

AMG Caliper Body Construction

The AMG caliper body, in its front right version, is designed as a rigid, deformation-resistant base for pistons and brake pads. Appropriately selected geometry for mounting to the steering knuckle and pad guidance allows for:

• maintaining even pressure on the disc's working surface,
• minimizing the risk of localized overheating,
• stable system operation during repeated, strong braking.

The AMG version is designed for higher loads than standard systems, therefore the body features increased rigidity and optimized mass, which contributes to precise wheel control and better vehicle handling.

Condition, Installation, and Benefits of Use

This item comes from the segment of used original parts, allowing for a combination of high-quality manufacturing with a more favorable cost compared to new components. An original caliper body ensures proper fitment to the steering knuckle, hub, and disc, without the need for modifications or adaptations, which simplifies workshop tasks and reduces installation time.

Using an original AMG caliper body on the front right axle helps maintain consistent braking characteristics on both sides of the vehicle, which is important for driving stability during emergency braking. This solution is particularly recommended for collision repairs, brake system overhauls, or restoring the vehicle to its factory specifications.

Technical Support and Part Selection

When selecting a caliper body for a specific body style and braking system, it is advisable to verify manufacturer markings, disc diameter, and vehicle placement. If in doubt, comparing with the removed part and consulting a mechanic specializing in the Mercedes brand will be helpful.

For users who want to consciously assemble a used braking system, a practical guide has been prepared – a detailed checklist for selecting discs, calipers, and ABS components.
