4022014 Right Brake Caliper Carrier Slide

What does a caliper carrier slide do?

The caliper carrier slide acts as a critical guide component that enables a floating-type disc brake caliper to slide axially on its carrier. By allowing the caliper body to travel back and forth, it ensures that braking forces are transferred evenly across the disc surface, which is essential for stable deceleration. This component is built from high-strength components to withstand heavy-duty operating conditions.

Compatibility and system fitment

This specific part is compatible with 19.5" braking system configurations and is designed for the right-hand side of the assembly. It functions alongside the carrier, bushings, and boots to maintain precise caliper positioning during heavy commercial vehicle operations. Its design ensures the caliper retracts freely once the brake is released, preventing drag.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For proper maintenance, workshop technicians should inspect these guide components during routine brake service. Ensuring the slide moves freely without excessive play or sticking is vital for preventing uneven pad wear or vibration. Always verify that the slide and its associated seals are free from debris and lubricated according to technical guidelines.

Troubleshooting and selection

When replacing these components, it is important to ensure they match the specific diameter and direction requirements of the existing caliper assembly to maintain system integrity.
