Product Details

The Cardone Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket line focuses on OE-style replacement calipers that arrive remanufactured to strict performance standards. For this application, the Cardone 18-B4821 includes a bracket where applicable and is pressure-tested to help confirm consistent brake operation before it reaches the vehicle. New EPDM rubber seals, stainless steel hardware clips, and new mounting pins are used where applicable to support long-term service life. This part cross-references Ford and Mercury OE numbers such as 1F1Z2553AA and YF1Z2553AA for the same application.

Installation Notes

Confirm the rear left position, inlet and bleeder port sizes, and brake fluid specification before installation.

Bleed the system thoroughly after installation and inspect for leaks, pad contact, and rotor condition.
