Product Details
This Cardone disc brake caliper is remanufactured to meet rigorous quality and performance standards, then 100% pressure-tested before release. The 4-piston layout uses steel pistons sized at 1.629 in. (41.3766 mm) and is finished with a rust-inhibiting coating to help preserve the original equipment appearance. Part number 18-4400 is a direct-fit brake hydraulics replacement for the front right side of the Ford Mustang, and it cross-references Ford C5ZZ2B120C for the same application.
Cardone’s Unloaded Caliper line focuses on OE-style replacement calipers built with new wear components, including seals, bleeder screws, and related hardware where applicable. That makes 18-4400 a practical choice for restoring braking function on classic Mustang front disc brake systems without changing the vehicle’s original configuration.
What It Can Help Resolve
- Uneven braking at the front right wheel
- Brake fluid leakage at the caliper
- Sticking or dragging caliper operation
- Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel caused by caliper issues
- Brake pull during stopping when the caliper is the source
Installation Notes
Fits 1965-1966 Ford Mustang, front right. This is an unloaded caliper, so pads are not included. Installation hardware is included, and the package contents list the caliper plus hardware kit. Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer, and follow the reservoir cap or service information for the correct fluid type. For floating caliper mounting pins, silicone grease is used on the pins. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation and inspect all connections for leaks.
