Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left fitment by year, make, and model before installation. This caliper is unloaded, so brake pads are not included. The package includes the caliper, bracket, instruction sheet, and hardware kit, and the M10x1.0 inlet and bleeder ports should be matched to the vehicle’s brake line and bleeding procedure. Inspect the rotor, pads, and brake hose condition during replacement to help prevent repeat brake issues.

This caliper is manufactured under stringent quality processes and is 100% tested before release. The zinc plating provides a silver OE-like finish, and the direct-fit design supports consistent installation on the listed Ford and Mercury rear left applications.
