Technical Specifications and Features

This remanufactured disc brake caliper is constructed from durable cast iron, providing strength and heat resistance required for braking applications. The caliper features a single steel piston with a 44 mm diameter, designed to apply consistent pressure to the brake pads. The gray rust preventative finish helps protect against corrosion, maintaining the caliper's integrity over time. The inlet fitting uses a banjo bolt with M10-1.5 thread size, ensuring compatibility with the Ford Windstar's brake hydraulic system. Dust boots are included to protect the piston from contaminants, and the bleeder screw (3/8-24 thread) facilitates proper brake fluid bleeding during installation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford Windstar (specific model years should be verified for compatibility)

This caliper is intended for use in disc brake hydraulic systems where a remanufactured replacement is required. It is suitable for addressing issues related to brake caliper wear or failure on compatible Ford Windstar vehicles.

Common Issues Addressed by This Caliper

• Brake fluid leaks from worn or damaged caliper seals
• Uneven brake pad wear due to caliper piston malfunction
• Reduced braking performance caused by corroded or seized caliper components
• Brake noise resulting from caliper hardware failure
• Difficulty bleeding brakes due to faulty bleeder screw

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the BBB Industries 97-17869A remanufactured caliper, ensure the brake system is properly flushed and free of contaminants. Use the included installation hardware, including the banjo bolt and copper crush washers, to secure the hydraulic line connection. Verify that the bleeder screw is accessible and functional for effective brake bleeding. Inspect dust boots for proper seating to prevent dirt ingress. It is recommended to replace brake pads separately, as this caliper does not include pads or anti-squeal shims.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

BBB Industries remanufactured calipers undergo rigorous inspection and testing to meet OEM standards. The rust preventative finish and inclusion of critical hardware components support long-term reliability. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the distributor or manufacturer, as they may vary by region or purchase source.
