Detailed Description

Brakes work as a system, and worn abutment hardware can affect how the pads move against the caliper bracket. Carlson P1158 is intended for front brake service on 2006-2019 Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, Ford Flex, Lincoln MKS, Lincoln MKT, and Mercury Mountaineer applications listed in the fitment data. This part number, P1158, is used to identify the correct service kit for those brake configurations.

The Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Abutment Service Kit line focuses on restoring the hardware interface that keeps brake pads moving in a controlled, stable manner. For buyers searching for a front disc brake caliper abutment service kit for Ford Explorer or Ford Taurus applications, P1158 provides a direct catalog match for the listed vehicles.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn brake hardware that can allow pad movement to become uneven
• Addressing brake noise caused by degraded abutment components
• Restoring consistent pad contact in front disc brake service
• Supporting brake maintenance when caliper hardware shows wear or corrosion

Installation Notes and Tips

Install during brake service when the caliper and pad hardware are being inspected or replaced. Clean the mounting surfaces before assembly and verify the vehicle-specific brake configuration against the fitment notes, especially on 2012-2013 Ford Explorer applications with D1508 notes and 2010-2011 Taurus, MKS, Flex, and MKT applications with D1376 notes.

Quality Assurance

Carlson brake service kits are built for brake system maintenance where proper hardware function matters. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
