Product Details
This Cardone unloaded caliper w/bracket is engineered for the Ford Mustang front right brake position and is remanufactured to meet rigorous quality and performance standards. The caliper uses a phenolic piston setup, new high-temperature EPDM rubber seals, and pressure testing to help deliver stable hydraulic operation and reliable stopping response. Part number 18-B4838 is also referenced as a direct replacement for Ford 3R3Z2B120CA for the same application.
Common Brake Issues It Can Address
- Brake drag or uneven pad wear at the front right wheel
- Leaking caliper seals or damaged bleeder hardware
- Corrosion on the caliper body or brake port threads
- Reduced braking response caused by a worn hydraulic caliper assembly
- Noise or pull during braking related to caliper function
Installation Notes
Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and replace fluid from a sealed container. For floating caliper mounting pins, silicone grease is used. Bleed the brake system after installation and verify all connections, port threads, and bracket mounting points before returning the vehicle to service. Part number 18-B4838 is intended for 2003-2004 Ford Mustang front right applications only.
Quality Assurance
Cardone remanufactures brake calipers using new premium components and pressure-testing procedures to support consistent performance. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
