G1,G2,G3 Brake Caliper Guide Sleeve Kit

Replacement front brake caliper guide sleeve kit for VW models fitted with Bosch or Kelsey-Hayes front brake calipers. The guide sleeves allow the floating brake caliper to move smoothly and evenly as the brakes are applied and released.

When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure pushes the brake pads against the disc. On a floating caliper setup, the guide sleeves allow the caliper body to slide correctly so both pads clamp evenly. Worn, seized, or corroded guide sleeves can cause uneven pad wear, brake drag, poor braking feel, pulling under braking, or rattling from the front calipers.

This kit is ideal when servicing or rebuilding the front brakes, especially if the caliper movement feels stiff or the pads are wearing unevenly. Always check the brake caliper type before ordering, as this kit is only suitable for Bosch and Kelsey-Hayes systems.

You may also require front brake pads, brake discs, caliper bolts, brake cleaner, high-temperature brake grease, or replacement calipers if the originals are badly worn or seized.
