Product Details

Cardone 18-B4860 is built for drivers replacing a worn or sticking front right caliper on a Ford F-150. This remanufactured unit uses brand-new premium components, including seals, bleeder screw, and related hardware items where applicable, while retaining the OE-style fit needed for a clean installation. The caliper bracket is included on this application, and the unit is finished with a rust-inhibiting coating to help preserve the original equipment appearance.

This part cross-references Ford 4L3Z2B120AA and 4L3Z2B120BB for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Front right brake drag or caliper sticking
• Uneven braking feel from a worn caliper assembly
• Brake fluid seepage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Corrosion-related caliper performance loss
• Poor pedal response caused by caliper wear or internal seal deterioration

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle is a 2004 Ford F-150 front right application, or a 2005 Ford F-150 front right application built before 11/29/2004, before ordering. Confirm the piston material requirement is phenolic, and match the bleeder port size of M10x1.0 during installation. Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer, and bleed the system thoroughly after replacement.

For floating caliper service, use silicone grease on the mounting pins. Inspect hoses, pads, and the master cylinder during diagnosis so the new caliper is installed into a clean, serviceable brake system.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured brake caliper is pressure-tested and assembled with new premium components to support dependable operation. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, while maintaining OE-style fit and function.
