Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a cast iron construction for strength and heat resistance. It utilizes a single phenolic piston measuring 48 mm (1.89 inches) in diameter, which helps reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment during braking, improving pad wear and braking efficiency. The inlet fitting is a banjo type with a 3/8"-24 thread size, compatible with standard brake lines. Included are the bleeder screw and abutment clips, though mounting hardware and brake pads are not included.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, and Mercury Mountaineer
• Addresses issues with brake fluid leaks or piston corrosion
• Resolves uneven brake pad wear due to caliper malfunction
• Improves braking response by restoring proper caliper function
• Suitable for vehicles requiring a floating caliper with a 48 mm piston diameter

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model before installation. This caliper does not include mounting hardware or brake pads, so these components must be sourced separately. Properly bleed the brake system using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain braking performance. The banjo inlet fitting requires correct torque specifications to prevent leaks. Abutment clips are included to secure brake pads and reduce noise.
