About Brake Caliper
On vehicles with rear disc brakes, the rear Brake Caliper is a unit which straddles the brake disc. This unit houses the brake pads, the piston that pushes the two pads onto the disc and on vehicles which use the pads for handbraking, the cable and pushrod mechanism for the handbrake. On some vehicles with rear disc brakes the handbrake has a separate drum, in the centre of the disc, with brake shoes.
The C Class Mercedes-Benz Brake Caliper Driverside Rear is positioned behind the wheel and straddles the brake disc,
When the foot brake is pressed the hydraulic system forces the fluid into the cylinder in the caliper which pushes the piston, which in turn pushes the brake pads onto the brake disc.Vehicles using the pads for the handbrake have a cable attached to the caliper which operates a pushrod inside the piston.
As the C Class Mercedes-Benz Brake Caliper Driverside Rear houses the cylinder for the piston that pushes the pad onto the brake disc it may be that the cylinder has been damaged causing leakage of hydraulic brake fluid or the seizing of the piston.

- When it comes to aerodynamics, Mercedes-Benz leads the industry. The C Class Coupe has a drag coefficient of 0.26, one of the best in the world. That makes the C Class Coupe one of the most fuel-efficient cars in the world too.

- Your C-Class can be fitted with a Mercedes Pre Safe system. This bit of technology will stop your car if it thinks a crash is about to happen. While this is now a common feature to see on new cars, the C Class system also closed your windows and made seat adjustments to minimize injuries in the case of a collision.
- The Mercedes-Benz C Class was featured a lot in the Nicolas Cage film, National Treasure: Book of Secrets. The car is seen racing through London's busy streets before smashing into a double-decker. A total of 50 cars were destroyed in the filming of the chase!
