Product Details

This unloaded caliper is built for 1968-1973 Ford Mustang front left applications, 1968-1973 Mercury Cougar front left applications, and 1968-1971 Mercury Montego front left applications. The Cardone 2C-4013 uses a steel piston and a zinc-plated body to help maintain consistent brake feel while matching the OE-style silver finish commonly expected in restoration and service work. This part cross-references Ford and Mercury OE number C80Z2B121A for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

  • Uneven braking from a sticking or worn caliper
  • Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or ports
  • Poor pedal response caused by internal caliper wear
  • Corrosion-related caliper damage on older vehicles
  • Brake service needs on front left Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, or Mercury Montego models

Installation Notes

Verify front left fitment before installation on your Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, or Mercury Montego. Transfer or install the correct brake pads separately, and inspect the rotor, hose, and mounting points for wear or damage during service. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation and confirm proper fluid sealing at the 3/8x24 inlet and bleeder ports.

Quality Assurance

Cardone manufactures this caliper using controlled quality processes and tests each unit before release to support consistent braking performance. The new construction and direct-fit design are intended to simplify replacement on compatible Ford and Mercury front left brake applications.
