Product Details
This unloaded caliper w/bracket is engineered for rear left brake service on the Ford Thunderbird, Jaguar S-Type, and Lincoln LS. Cardone remanufactures the unit with new premium components, including EPDM rubber seals and durable piston materials, to support reliable braking response and long service life. The 18-B4812 also cross-references Ford 1W4Z2553AB for the same application.
The Cardone unloaded caliper w/bracket line focuses on OE-style replacement parts that simplify brake repair while maintaining factory fit and function. For buyers searching for a rear left brake caliper for 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird, a rear left caliper for 2000-2002 Jaguar S-Type, or a rear left brake caliper for 2000-2002 Lincoln LS, this part number is built to match those applications.
What It Helps Fix
- Brake pull to one side during stopping
- Low or uneven brake pedal response caused by caliper issues
- Brake drag from a sticking rear caliper
- Leaking or worn caliper seals
- Corrosion-related caliper performance loss
Installation Notes
Use the correct OE-recommended brake fluid for the vehicle and keep fluid sealed until use. Floating caliper mounting pins require silicone grease. Bleed the system carefully after installation and inspect the brake hose, master cylinder, and rear brake adjustment if pedal feel remains low. Confirm rear left fitment before ordering, especially for 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird, 2000-2002 Jaguar S-Type, and 2000-2002 Lincoln LS applications.
Quality Assurance
Cardone remanufactures this caliper to rigorous quality and performance standards, then pressure-tests each unit before release. The process uses new premium components and reduces energy and raw material use compared with manufacturing a new part.
