What It Helps Address

• Brake drag caused by a worn or distorted caliper bracket
• Poor pad alignment or uneven pad wear
• Brake noise related to caliper movement or bracket wear
• Front brake service issues on older Ford van and truck platforms
• Corrosion-related bracket deterioration

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle year, model, and brake configuration before installation. Fitment includes front left and front right positions, with notes for 1976 vehicles from serial number A75001 and 1977-1979 F-250 applications with dual piston calipers. Use the brake fluid specified by the OE label on the master cylinder reservoir lid, and install with clean, sealed fluid only. Inspect pad fitment, rotor finish, and caliper hardware condition during service to help prevent squeal and uneven braking.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures caliper brackets to OE-level standards and corrects original design flaws where applicable. Each bracket is coated for rust protection, and bolt threads are checked and tested to support reliable installation. The result is a remanufactured brake bracket built for consistent performance on compatible Ford front brake applications.
