About the Cardone Remanufactured Brake Caliper Line

The Cardone Remanufactured Brake Caliper product line focuses on restoring used calipers to meet strict quality and performance standards. Each caliper undergoes a thorough remanufacturing process, including cleaning, machining, and replacement of critical components such as dust boots, bleeder screws, and anti-rattle springs. This ensures that the 18-B5635 caliper delivers consistent braking performance and durability comparable to new parts, making it a practical option for Ford and Lincoln disc brake systems.

Technical Details and Features

The 18-B5635 caliper features a single piston with a diameter of 1.442 inches (37 mm) made from steel, providing reliable clamping force on the brake rotor. The caliper body is cast iron, known for its strength and heat resistance, and finished with a powder coating to resist corrosion. It uses a banjo-type inlet fitting and includes one bleeder screw with an M10x1.5 thread size and a protective cap. The caliper slides and anti-rattle spring are included to reduce noise and ensure smooth brake pad movement. The mounting bracket and hardware are supplied to facilitate proper installation, although mounting bolts are not included. Dust boots are also part of the assembly to protect internal components from contaminants.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or seized floating disc brake calipers on compatible Ford and Lincoln models
• Addresses brake drag or uneven pad wear caused by caliper malfunction
• Resolves brake fluid leaks from damaged bleeder screws or seals
• Eliminates brake noise through inclusion of anti-rattle springs and caliper slides
• Restores proper brake pedal feel and stopping power

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model and year. The 18-B5635 caliper includes the mounting bracket and hardware but does not come with mounting bolts or brake pads, so these may need to be sourced separately. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and ensure optimal brake performance. Inspect the brake rotor and pads for wear and replace if necessary to maintain balanced braking.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Cardone remanufactured brake calipers undergo rigorous testing to meet or exceed OEM standards. The 18-B5635 is built with quality materials such as cast iron and steel pistons, and includes essential components like dust boots and bleeder screws to ensure durability. While specific warranty details are not provided here, Cardone typically offers limited warranties on remanufactured brake components to cover defects in materials and workmanship.
