Product Details

The Cardone Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket line focuses on remanufactured brake hydraulics that match original equipment fit and function. Part number 18-B4759 is remanufactured with premium replacement components, treated with a rust inhibitor, and finished to preserve the OE-style appearance. The phenolic piston construction helps resist cracking and pitting, while the included bracket and hardware kit support a cleaner front brake service on applications such as the Ford Ranger and Ford Explorer.
