Rear Caliper ID
So one of my rear calipers has a seized piston and I'd like to replace it. However a cursory look didn't show any marking on it. I didn't even realize that there were both bendix and ate calipers used on the rears. I though that was only for the front. So I'm wondering if there are any obvious differences in construction or specific markings that I can look for so I can go out ad buy a new one.
-thanks

Just went through this with my 81 300SD. If the anti-rattle springs are wires like a coat hanger, it is probably Bendix. If they are flat metal, they are probably Ate. However it will say ATE or Bendix on the front of the caliper.

Either will work if used in matching sets. Flex hoses and pads are the same. Caliper hardware is specific to brand.
A1-Cardone is the cheapest remanned there is. They also have poor quality control. Buy locally making returns easy if one fails.
