Mercedes-Benz Brake Calipers FAQ

What Do Brake Calipers Do?

Two things: house the brake pads and, when you step on the brake pedal, act as clamps that press down on the brake rotors and create the resistance that the vehicle uses for slowing and stopping.

What Types of Brake Calipers Can Vehicle Have?

Fixed is one; these have pistons on both sides of the rotor, making for better braking performance. Floating is another; these are more simply designed, with pistons on only one side, and they're generally more affordable. What your ride has or is compatible with, though, depends on what your owner's manual says.

What are the Signs the Brake Calipers in My Mercedes-Benz are Failing?

Vibrations when you brake, pulling sideways, squealing or clunking noises, a brake warning light on the dash, and a burning smell during braking. Notice any, and you should run an inspection and replace parts as needed. Stick to OEM for the job; they'll be Mercedes-Benz quality, of the kind you're used to from your favorite luxury automaker, and they'll come backed by factory warranties for peace of mind.
