Fitment on a used brake caliper varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The G-Class has been built on the W463 platform since 1989, with a significant facelift and update arriving in 2018 that brought substantial changes to the running gear, brakes included. Calipers from pre-2018 W463 models are unlikely to cross directly to the 2018-onwards generation, but confirm the exact part numbers against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Year matters considerably — the G-Class has evolved through distinct specification changes, and brake caliper sizing is tied to engine output and chassis generation rather than the bodywork, which has remained visually similar for decades. A caliper from the right generation and engine variant is what you need, not simply any G-Class part. Always give the breaker your full registration so they can match against the correct application.
Trim level alone — for example, differences between standard and AMG Line specification — does not determine brake caliper fitment on the G-Class. What actually drives caliper size is the engine variant and generation of the vehicle. Bear in mind that genuine AMG models (such as the G63 AMG) carry larger, performance-specific calipers that will not interchange with standard G-Class units.
It is unlikely — the G500 uses a larger, more powerful engine and typically carries uprated brakes to match, so caliper dimensions and mounting specifications may differ from those on the G350d. Running gear on the G-Class generally scales with power output rather than body style. Confirm the exact part against both registrations with your breaker before proceeding.
Yes, front and rear calipers are handed — nearside (left) and offside (right) are not interchangeable, so make sure you specify the correct side when getting quotes from a breaker. Double-check which corner you need before contacting dismantlers to avoid delays.
The 2018 model year marked a major engineering overhaul for the G-Class, with revised suspension, updated brakes, and new engine configurations, making it a genuine generational boundary. Calipers from the pre-2018 W463 are very unlikely to be compatible with the post-2018 car. Confirm directly with the breaker using both registrations to be sure.
