About the Cardone Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket Product Line

The Cardone Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket line provides disc brake calipers that come with the necessary mounting bracket but without brake pads installed. This allows for flexibility in brake pad selection and ensures compatibility with specific vehicle models. The 18-B5602 caliper is part of this line, offering a reliable replacement option for Ram ProMaster vehicles requiring a direct-fit caliper with bracket.

Product Details and Technical Information

This disc brake caliper is engineered to maintain proper brake function by using silicone grease on the floating caliper mounting pins, which reduces friction and wear. It is important to use the brake fluid recommended by the original equipment manufacturer to maintain system integrity. Symptoms such as a low brake pedal or vehicle pulling to one side during braking can often be traced back to caliper issues, making this replacement part a critical component for restoring safe braking performance.

Common Brake Issues Addressed by This Caliper

• Low brake pedal caused by air in the brake system
• Vehicle pulling to one side during braking
• Persistent brake squeal due to caliper malfunction
• Caliper piston compatibility concerns (phenolic vs. steel pistons)
• Potential caliper-related brake fluid compatibility questions

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 18-B5602 caliper, apply silicone grease to the floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth movement. Always use the brake fluid type specified by the vehicle manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4, and avoid switching to incompatible fluids. Bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove any air that may cause a low brake pedal. Verify proper caliper alignment with the mounting bracket to prevent uneven brake pad wear or vehicle pull.
