Carlson H5118 Disc Brake Caliper Pin Sleeve

Carlson H5118 is a disc brake caliper pin sleeve for front brake service on select Ford, Mercury, and Mazda applications. It supports proper caliper guide pin movement, which is important when restoring consistent brake feel and even pad contact.

Key Features

• Disc brake caliper pin sleeve for front brake hardware service
• Built for select Escort, Tracer, Protege, MX-3, and 323 front disc brake applications
• Supports smooth caliper guide pin operation during brake maintenance
• Paraphrases the manufacturer’s guidance that brake hardware should be renewed when friction materials are replaced
• Carlson H5118 is listed for multiple front-position fitments across 1990-2003 model years

Detailed Description

This Carlson H5118 caliper pin sleeve is a brake hardware component used in front disc brake assemblies on 2001-2003 Ford Escort, 1991-2000 Ford Escort, 1991-1999 Mercury Tracer, 1990-1998 Mazda Protege, 1991-1996 Mercury Tracer, 1992-1995 Mazda MX-3, 1990-1994 Mazda 323, and 1990-1994 Mazda Protege. It is a direct-fit hardware item for service work where worn guide pin sleeves can affect caliper movement and pad wear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Uneven front brake pad wear
• Sticking or restricted caliper guide pin movement
• Brake noise caused by worn hardware interfaces
• Poor brake pedal consistency from aged caliper hardware
• Front disc brake service on Ford Escort, Mercury Tracer, and Mazda applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the full front brake hardware set during service and replace worn guide components at the same time as friction materials. Verify the vehicle’s brake configuration against the listed fitment before installation. Carlson H5118 is a front-position part for the applications shown above.

Quality Assurance

Carlson positions this part as brake service hardware for restoring proper caliper guide function in the listed applications. Use the confirmed fitment data to match the correct front brake application for your Ford Escort, Mercury Tracer, Mazda Protege, Mazda MX-3, or Mazda 323.
