Product Details

Cardone’s unloaded caliper w/bracket line focuses on remanufactured OE replacement brake hydraulics with new premium components added during rebuilding. For this application, the caliper is finished with a rust-inhibiting coating, uses high-temperature EPDM rubber seals, and includes a steel piston for durability under braking load. The 18-B4829 is a practical choice when replacing a worn or sticking front brake caliper on a Ford Expedition or Lincoln Navigator, especially when the original bracketed assembly is needed for a complete front left repair.

This part cross-references Ford and Lincoln OE numbers, including 2L1Z2B121DA and 4L1Z2B121AA, for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front left brake drag or caliper sticking
• Uneven braking pull during stops
• Brake fluid seepage at the caliper
• Corroded or worn caliper piston components
• Noise or poor brake response from a failing hydraulic caliper
