Hey guys! Does anyone know where I can purchase the ate caliper guide pin bushings? I found one place in Germany and the cost is only 12 Euros. However, they want $109 for shipping to CANADA for four tiny pieces!
Have you gotten off the couch and walked down to your local MB dealer.
I appreciate your more than helpful scarcastic response! For a second, I almost thought that I was on a Bimmer forum as responses like yours are frequent. The answer to your question is yes I have! They don’t have part#’s for the guide pin bushings or caliper pistons. Thus the reason I’m asking for help! I already purchased Centric replacement pistons and genuine Mercedes seal rings. I searched the ATE part#’s and I found the parts in Germany for $15 USD but I don’t think the $95 USD shipping charge is worth the $15 in parts.
Just checked the EPC and the parts are visible in the brake caliper diagram, but not listed in the parts list. Guess they don't have them available through the MB network.
actually DRBC43AMG aka Danijel from Swizzyland is much more closer to Deutschland than me.
you could also contact Kaype from w210 AMG forum, he is residing in Germany.
maybe he can hook you up with parts as he had lots of brake jobs done before.
if nothing works out for you I'll try to help you out getting these parts from Germany
Z to the rescue once again! Z, is that part # for the front or the rear caliper pin boot? They are different part#’s. The front ATE part# 11.8171-0022.1 and the rear is part# 11.8171-0015.2. Thx
