Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 18-4402 caliper, use the included hardware kit for proper mounting. Note that mounting bolts are not included and must be sourced separately if needed. It is recommended to use the brake fluid type specified by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to maintain system integrity. Applying silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins can help reduce noise and ensure smooth caliper movement. Always bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove air and achieve a firm brake pedal feel.

The steel pistons and oil emulsion finish contribute to durability and corrosion resistance.
