Detailed Description

Dorman 13828 is engineered as an OE-style replacement for the disc brake caliper bracket mounting bolt used on select Ford Explorer, Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKT, and Lincoln MKS front brake assemblies. The steel bolt features a 55 mm length, 40 mm thread length, and metric 14 mm coarse threads to match the original mounting interface. Its 10.9 bolt grade supports secure brake bracket attachment where correct fastener fit and thread engagement are critical. This part cross-references Carlson H811 and Raybestos Brakes H17010 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread diameter, thread pitch, and bolt length against the removed hardware before installation. Clean the bracket and knuckle threads thoroughly, and inspect the mounting surfaces for corrosion or damage. Use the correct hex tool to avoid rounding the head, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specification for the front brake bracket fasteners on the specific Ford or Lincoln application.
