Front Left Brake Caliper for Ford and Lincoln
The Cardone Ultra 18-P5468 is a remanufactured front left disc brake caliper built for select Ford and Lincoln applications. It combines OE-style fitment with a silver powder-coated finish that helps resist rust and corrosion while maintaining a clean appearance behind open-spoke wheels.
Cardone Ultra calipers are remanufactured from original equipment cores and are built for direct replacement on vehicles such as the Ford Explorer, Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKT, and Lincoln MKS. The 18-P5468 is designed for drivers who need a front left brake caliper with the correct bracket, steel piston design, and application-specific hardware details.

Product Details
Cardone Ultra Ultra Caliper 18-P5468 is engineered for front left brake service on 2013-2019 Ford Explorer, 2013-2019 Ford Flex, 2013-2019 Ford Taurus, 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT, and 2013-2016 Lincoln MKS. This caliper uses a 3/8x24 inlet port, M10x1.0 bleeder port, and a powder-coated silver finish to help preserve appearance and resist environmental wear. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
This part cross-references Ford DG1Z2B121A and Lincoln GB5Z2B121A for the same application.
Common Brake Issues This Part Can Address
- Brake drag or uneven front brake operation
- Corrosion on the caliper body or piston area

- Difficulty bleeding the brake system
- Reduced braking performance from a worn caliper assembly
Installation Notes
Use the vehicle’s OE brake fluid specification and replace fluid from a sealed container. For floating caliper mounting pins, use silicone grease.
