Caliper Dust Boots. Where to get it?
Caliper Dust Boots?!
Hi everybody, I am new to this forum. I have 2005 Mercedes E320 standard edition (NONE 4matic). Here is the question. Does anybody know where I can get rubber dust boots for the front calipers? I went to the dealer and they don’t carry this item. So I called around other dealers and the same thing. Nobody seems to carry this. Eventually I bought it over the internet but it doesn’t fit my car, the part is different. This Dust Boot apparently have metal sleeve imbedded, like oil seal with metal frame inside. The dealer shows two pistons in the caliper but I have only one piston. When I asked them how they fix it for clients, they said that you have to replace the whole caliper (obviously hundreds of dollars). Mine on the left side is torn, and I’d like to replace it, but it seems impossible. Did anybody come across something like this? Thanks. Jan
