G3,G4,T4,Porsche 928 Brake Caliper Guide Pin

This high-quality front brake caliper guide bolt is designed specifically for use with ATE brake systems found in a wide range of Volkswagen vehicles. The guide bolt plays a critical role in the brake caliper assembly by allowing the caliper to slide evenly when pressure is applied, ensuring even brake pad contact with the disc. This ensures smooth and responsive braking, reduces brake pad wear, and maintains overall braking performance.

Over time, guide bolts can corrode or wear, causing calipers to seize or stick—leading to uneven braking and premature pad wear. Replacing worn guide bolts with a quality replacement is essential for safe and effective braking.

This bolt is compatible with many VW models, including:

• VW Beetle (5C & New Beetle) – various diesel and petrol variants from 1998 to 2019

• VW Bora – petrol and diesel models from 1998 to 2005

• VW Transporter T4 – wide diesel and petrol range from 1990 to 2003

• VW Caddy III – including Box Body/MPV versions from 2004 to 2015

• VW Golf – Golf III, IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII from 1991 to 2021

• VW Passat – including B3, B4, B5 (3B), B5.5 (3BG) from 1991 to 2005

• VW Polo (9N) – petrol and diesel versions from 2001 to 2009

• VW Sharan I – diesel and petrol variants from 1995 to 2010

• VW LT II – diesel and petrol versions from 1996 to 2006

• Porsche 928 (classic) – select coupe variants from 1977 to 1986

How It Works:

Mounted within the brake caliper bracket, the guide bolt allows the caliper to slide laterally when the brakes are applied. This motion ensures equal pressure is applied to both brake pads against the disc, maximizing braking efficiency and promoting even pad wear.

Installation Notes:

• Fits front axle only.

• For use with ATE brake systems.

• It is advisable to replace both guide bolts and rubber bushings during installation for optimal performance.

• Compatible with a wide range of VW models (see above).

• May require brake grease and torque wrench for correct fitting.
