Description
What does a caliper carrier slide do?
The caliper carrier slide is a critical component that facilitates the axial movement of the disc brake caliper on its carrier. In floating-type caliper systems, this part allows the caliper body to travel back and forth, ensuring that braking forces are distributed evenly across the disc surface. This component is essential for maintaining smooth, consistent braking action and preventing uneven pad wear.Vehicle and system compatibility
This specific slide is compatible with Meritor systems and is designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy commercial vehicle axles. It serves as a reliable replacement for worn or seized guide components, ensuring that the braking system maintains its intended travel and response times during operation.Installation and maintenance guidance
When performing installation, technicians should ensure the carrier is clean and free of debris. It is vital to use high-temperature grease approved for brake applications to prevent seizing and to protect the rubber boots from swelling. Proper lubrication is key to maintaining the longevity of the slide and the overall integrity of the braking system.Troubleshooting and selection
Always verify the diameter and length of the existing pin before replacement to ensure correct fitment. Even minor deviations can affect the slide travel and overall braking performance.OE cross-reference
4122007 (Brake Caliper Carrier Slide) is the equivalent of the Meritor OE number. This part directly replaces Meritor OE number 68324200.Technical Specifications

FAQ
What is the function of a caliper carrier slide?
The slide acts as a guide that allows the brake caliper to move axially on its carrier, ensuring even pressure distribution across the disc during braking.
How can I identify if a caliper slide needs replacement?
Symptoms include uneven brake pad wear, pulling to one side during braking, or audible clicking sounds caused by excessive play in the slider.
What type of lubrication is required for these slides?
Only high-temperature grease compatible with rubber should be used; incorrect lubricants can cause seals to swell and lead to pin seizure.
How do I ensure I am selecting the correct slide pin?
Technicians should measure the diameter and length using a caliper gauge and cross-check against the existing component or OE reference.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
4122007 directly replaces Meritor OE number 68324200.
