Product Details

Cardone’s Unloaded Caliper line focuses on remanufactured brake hydraulics built to OE fit and function. Part number 18-4942 is remanufactured with premium replacement components, then pressure-tested to verify operation before it leaves the factory. The caliper is treated with a rust inhibitor and retains the original equipment finish, helping maintain a clean, service-ready appearance on the vehicle.

This part cross-references Ford 5L8Z2552AA and Mazda EFY52661X for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

  • Rear brake drag caused by a sticking caliper piston
  • Uneven braking at the rear right wheel
  • Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
  • Corrosion-related caliper seizure or poor piston movement
  • Soft or inconsistent brake response from a worn hydraulic caliper

Installation Notes

Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and replace fluid from a sealed container only. For floating caliper mounting pins, use silicone grease. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation and inspect the brake hose, pads, and rear brake adjustment before returning the vehicle to service.
