Caliper guide pin boot bush kit details

Overview

Caliper guide pin boot bush kit keeps Knorr SB6 and SB7 disc brake calipers sliding freely so pads load evenly. It replaces worn guide pin bushes and damaged boots that can cause taper wear, noise, or dragging brakes. As a result, trailers maintain consistent braking performance and reduced downtime.

Features

This kit groups the key sliding hardware for one Knorr SB 6/7 caliper position on heavy vehicle axles. Firstly, matched boots and bushes help keep road grime and moisture away from the guide pins. In addition, using a dedicated caliper guide pin boot bush kit simplifies stock control and repair decisions.

• Matched guide pin boots and bushes for Knorr SB6 and SB7 calipers
• Designed for common European truck and trailer applications including MAN, DAF, Mercedes, and Iveco
• Helps restore even pad wear and reduces vibration under braking
• Supports preventative maintenance programs for fleet operators

Compliance and Safety

Correct guide pin movement helps each pad share the braking load, which in turn supports compliance with roadworthy and heavy vehicle inspection standards. Furthermore, regular inspection of caliper slide hardware reduces the risk of hot hubs or uneven braking across an axle group. Technicians should always follow the vehicle manufacturer torque settings and use suitable high temperature lubricant where specified.

Caliper guide pin kit trailer applications

Trailer Applications

Workshops use this caliper guide pin boot bush kit during scheduled brake overhauls or when inspections show uneven pad wear on Knorr SB 6/7 calipers. This approach helps standardise parts on SB series disc brakes and can simplify spares holding.

Cross-reference and Suitability

This part cross-references to or suits the following equivalent part numbers and compatible alternatives:

Installers should still confirm caliper family, mounting, and axle variant before final fitment so the slide components match the original hardware.
