I am replacing the front calipers on my 84 300SD and have an ATE caliper on the left and an ATE on the right side. I'm not sure how/why that happened, but I am going to replace them both with either ATE or Bendix across the front.

Is there any significant difference between the two? For that matter, is there any difference at all?

Asa far as I know, the left side IS the drivers side . Anyway. Just did the same job on my w123. Calipers looked the same, act the same. Bendix were MUCH cheaper in my case. That's why I went with them. Just make sure to replace them in pairs.

I put on the ATE factory remans.
They work great.
Lawson's Quality Imported Parts in Raleigh NC has a great price on them.

Lawson Stallings is the owner. Great guy.

I replaced mine in pairs.

the pins on the ates a lot better.

but otherwise they seem to work the same.
