Description

Overview

The caliper adjuster bolt right hand kit restores precise pad adjustment in Meritor DX195 and DX225 air disc brake calipers used on heavy transport trailers. It replaces worn adjuster hardware on the right hand side of the caliper so you can set running clearance correctly and keep braking performance consistent. Additionally, it helps reduce uneven pad wear and dragging brakes when installed and set up to manufacturer instructions.

Features

• Dedicated right hand caliper adjuster bolt and sleeve kit for Meritor DX195 and DX225 air disc brake calipers
• Includes calibration bolts, adjustment sleeves, wave washers and C clips for a complete right side hardware refresh
• Precision machined components support smooth adjuster movement and repeatable pad clearance settings
• Designed for workshop or fleet brake maintenance where reliable, straightforward service parts are essential

Specifications and Materials

This kit includes 2 calibration bolts (right), 2 adjustment sleeves (right), 2 wave washers and 2 C clips so you can service both right hand calipers on an axle group. Components are typically machined from hardened steel with a protective finish suitable for heavy vehicle braking environments, and hardware is sized to suit the original Meritor DX series adjuster bores and threads. Part number: FB2824.

Compatibility and Fitment

This caliper adjuster bolt right hand kit suits Meritor DX195 and DX225 air disc brake calipers on the right hand side only. Before installation, you should confirm the casting identification on the caliper body, check that the existing adjuster is on the right hand side relative to the axle, and verify that the sleeve and bolt dimensions match the original hardware. In addition, always follow Meritor service instructions for setting pad clearance and torqueing fasteners to the specified values.

Compliance and Safety

Correctly maintained and adjusted foundation brakes are critical for road compliance and safe trailer operation. When you fit this caliper adjuster bolt right hand kit, you should inspect the full caliper assembly, pads, discs and slide mechanisms, then replace any components that show excessive wear or corrosion. Furthermore, adjustment and final checks should be carried out by a suitably qualified technician who understands heavy vehicle braking systems, and the trailer should be tested on a safe surface before returning to service.

Trailer Applications

This kit is suitable for trailers running Meritor DX195 and DX225 calipers in on highway applications such as curtain siders, tippers, skels and tankers. Fleet operators can use a dedicated caliper adjuster bolt right hand kit to standardise brake maintenance across multiple trailer types, which helps keep downtime low and simplifies workshop stock. In addition, pairing this kit with quality pads and rotors supports consistent brake balance across multi axle combinations.

Cross-reference and Suitability

No additional cross-reference part numbers have been confirmed for this caliper adjuster bolt and sleeve kit at this time. For best results, match the kit only to Meritor DX195 and DX225 calipers that require right hand adjuster hardware and compare the removed components to the new parts before final installation.
