Cardone 18-B4225 Disc Brake Caliper - Front Left

Remanufactured Front Left Brake Caliper

Cardone 18-B4225 is an unloaded disc brake caliper with bracket for the front left position on select Ford trucks and vans. It is remanufactured to OE-style fitment standards and pressure-tested for consistent brake performance.

Built for 1972-1976 Ford F-250, Ford F-350, and Ford E-Series applications, this caliper is a direct replacement for vehicles that use a metal piston and the specified front left mounting configuration. The Cardone unloaded caliper w/bracket line focuses on complete, application-specific brake hydraulics with the correct bracket where required.

Product Details

Cardone 18-B4225 is remanufactured using new premium components and pressure-tested before release. The caliper body is treated with a rust inhibitor, and the rubber seals are replaced with high-temperature EPDM material for durability and sealing performance. This part cross-references Ford D2TZ2B120B and D6TZ2B120A for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Addresses brake pull during stopping caused by caliper drag or uneven hydraulic action
• Helps correct low pedal feel when the caliper is leaking or not sealing properly
• Supports repair of brake noise related to caliper wear or piston issues
• Replaces a damaged OE caliper on classic Ford Econoline and F-Series brake systems

Installation Notes

Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and always install fresh fluid from a sealed container. For floating caliper mounting pins, silicone grease is used. Inspect hoses, pads, and rear brake adjustment during service, since those conditions can affect pedal feel and braking balance. Verify the chassis or serial breakpoints before ordering Cardone 18-B4225.
