1987470603 Bosch Guide Sleeve

This little piece basically helps the brake caliper slide smoothly on the caliper bracket. It’s a bushing, really. It keeps everything aligned and moving freely when you hit the brakes. It prevents the caliper from binding up or sticking. Think of it as part of the system that actually stops the car. The caliper squeezes the brake rotor to slow things down, and this sleeve makes sure that caliper can move back and forth easily as it does that. Without it functioning correctly, the caliper can’t do its job reliably. It’s located right where the caliper slides on those pins. If these sleeves get corroded, dry, or damaged, the caliper won’t slide as it should. You’ll notice if it's bad – maybe a pulling sensation when braking, uneven brake wear, or even the brakes sticking and overheating. That can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the road. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and doing it regularly as part of brake service can save you a lot of trouble. You can find them pretty easily online – Fixparts Online has a good selection, for example. Replacing them during a brake job is just a smart preventative measure. Top choice for reliability: Guide Sleeve (MPN 1987470603) includes a 12-month warranty!
