Detailed Description

Cardone 18-B4382 is a remanufactured front left brake caliper engineered for OE-style replacement on the Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Lincoln Continental listed in the fitment data. It includes the bracket for applicable installations and is supplied unloaded, making it a practical choice when replacing a worn or sticking caliper during brake service. The unit is pressure-tested and rebuilt with new EPDM rubber seals, durable piston components, and corrosion-resistant finishing to support consistent hydraulic operation.

This part cross-references Ford F4DZ2B121A and Lincoln F30Y2B121A for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Uneven braking from a sticking or seized front left caliper
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Poor pedal response caused by caliper hydraulic wear
• Brake pull during stopping from a worn caliper assembly
• Noise or drag related to caliper piston or seal deterioration

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1994-1995 Ford Taurus, front left
• Fits 1994-1995 Mercury Sable, front left
• Fits 1993-1994 Lincoln Continental, front left
• Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and replace fluid from a sealed container
