Product Details

Cardone 18-4084 is remanufactured to meet rigorous quality and performance standards, with brand-new premium components used throughout the rebuild process. The caliper is treated with a special rust inhibitor and kept in the original equipment finish, helping preserve fit and function on older brake systems. New stainless steel hardware clips, new mounting pins where applicable, and new banjo bolts where applicable support a cleaner installation and proper brake service. This part cross-references Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury OE numbers such as D4VY2B121A and D5AZ2B121A for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Uneven braking or pull during stops on the front left wheel
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Sticking or seized caliper piston movement
• Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel caused by caliper wear
• Corrosion-related brake performance loss on older vehicles

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone caliper is 100% pressure-tested after remanufacturing to verify brake performance. The rebuild process uses new premium components and an earth-friendly method that reduces the energy and raw material needed versus manufacturing a new part.
