Product Details

Cardone remanufactures this caliper to rigorous quality standards and pressure-tests each unit to verify consistent brake performance. The design uses brand-new premium components in critical wear areas, including seals and service hardware, to restore proper hydraulic operation. This part number, 18-4076S, is a direct-fit replacement for front left brake service on many Dodge B1500, B2500, B3500, Ram 1500 Van, Ram 2500 Van, and Ram 3500 Van applications, along with select Chrysler and Plymouth vehicles.

What It Helps Fix

• Uneven or weak front brake clamping on the left side
• Brake drag caused by worn piston seals or sticking caliper components
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Poor pedal response from a worn hydraulic caliper assembly
• Corrosion-related caliper service issues on older Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth vehicles

Installation Notes

Compatible With 1974-1998 Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth front left brake applications listed in the fitment data. Verify piston type, axle/brake configuration, and position before installation. Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer, and replace fluid from a sealed container only. For floating caliper systems, silicone grease is used on the mounting pins. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove trapped air and restore pedal feel.
