Mercedes W204 W212 Brake Caliper Front Right O/S Carrier 295X28 A2044210994

Mercedes W204 W212 Brake Caliper Front Right O/S Carrier 295X28 is an original component from the Brake calipers and carriers group, designed for operation on the front right axle of the braking system. This used, factory-spec caliper ensures proper pad guidance on a disc of the correct diameter and thickness, which translates into stable, predictable braking in Mercedes mid-size and luxury vehicles.

Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented caliper is dedicated for installation on the front right side of the vehicle, within the working zone of the main braking system. The carrier design is adapted to work with a disc of a specific diameter and thickness, which allows for maintaining the factory braking characteristics in Mercedes W204 and W212 models. Proper placement on the vehicle is crucial for the even distribution of braking forces between the left and right sides of the axle, as well as for the correct operation of assistance systems, such as ABS or ESP, which rely on the predictable mechanical response of the caliper.

Construction and technical function of the caliper

The front right caliper in this configuration acts as a stable carrier guiding the brake pads relative to the disc. The geometry of the mounts and guides is matched to the factory Mercedes steering knuckles and hubs, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of misalignment. As a result, the braking force is transferred evenly to the friction surface, and pad wear remains predictable. A properly selected caliper from this series allows for maintaining:

• stable guidance of the pads relative to the disc,
• correct operation of the pistons and friction elements,
• appropriate system rigidity under intensive braking conditions,
• compatibility with factory mounts in Mercedes vehicles.

Benefits of using an original, used caliper

Choosing an original, used brake caliper for a Mercedes allows you to combine cost control with maintaining the factory operating parameters of the system. A component originating from the same production line as the original equipment ensures a proper fit to the hub, steering knuckle, and disc, without the need for modifications. The main advantages of such a solution include:

• factory mounting geometry – no need for modifications during installation,
• preservation of the original braking characteristics of the front axle,
• possibility of economical brake system repair while maintaining manufacturer standards,
• easier diagnostics and service due to compliance with Mercedes technical documentation.

Selection, installation, and operation

Before installation, it is recommended to verify the compatibility of the caliper with the specific engine and equipment version of the vehicle, as well as to check the condition of the brake discs and pads on that axle. Proper selection of components within one axle (caliper, disc, pads, lines) allows for maintaining even braking and reducing vibrations or vehicle pulling during braking. When replacing the caliper, it is worth simultaneously:

• checking the condition of flexible and rigid lines,
• assessing the wear of pads and discs,
• bleeding the brake system according to the manufacturer's procedure,
• verifying the operation of the pistons after installation in a workshop setting.

Brake system expansion and additional materials
