Detailed Description
Cardone remanufactures this brake caliper to OE specifications using brand-new premium components where needed, then pressure-tests each unit before release. The phenolic piston material resists cracking and pitting, while the gray finish and rust-inhibiting treatment help maintain the caliper’s condition in service. This part number, 18-B8046, is a practical choice for Ford brake repairs that require a direct replacement caliper with bracket included when specified by application.
This part cross-references Ford 8U9Z2B120AA and F81Z2B120AA for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Brake drag caused by a sticking caliper
- Uneven braking from worn internal seals or piston wear
- Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
- Poor pedal response related to caliper hydraulic issues
- Noise or vibration tied to caliper hardware wear
Installation Notes and Tips
- Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and keep fluid sealed until use.
- Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove trapped air.
- Inspect brake hoses, pads, and rotors before completing the repair.
- Apply silicone grease to floating caliper mounting pins when required by the brake design.
- Verify the piston material and caliper configuration match the original application before installation.
Quality Assurance
Each Cardone caliper is remanufactured to rigorous quality standards and 100% pressure-tested to confirm consistent hydraulic performance. The process uses new components where needed and reduces raw material and energy use compared with manufacturing a new part.
