DFC Premium Caliper Line

The DFC Premium Caliper - Silver Zinc Coated line is made for brake service where corrosion resistance and consistent hydraulic operation matter. The silver zinc coating helps protect the caliper housing from surface corrosion, making it a practical choice for daily-driven vehicles that see wet or salted-road conditions.

Key Features

• Front left disc brake caliper
• Silver zinc coated finish for added corrosion resistance
• Direct-fit replacement for select Ford and Lincoln brake systems
• Application-specific fitment for standard-duty and standard brake setups
• Part number 331-54235 for easy identification

Detailed Description

This Dynamic Friction brake caliper is engineered for the front left position on select 2009-2019 Ford and Lincoln models. Compatible applications include the 2013-2019 Ford Explorer, 2013-2019 Ford Flex with 325mm front rotors, 2010-2018 Ford Taurus, 2013-2015 Lincoln MKT with solid rear discs, 2011-2012 Ford Explorer, 2009-2012 Ford Flex, 2009-2012 Lincoln MKS, and 2010-2012 Lincoln MKT. If you are replacing a worn front left caliper on a Ford Explorer, Ford Flex, or Ford Taurus, 331-54235 provides a fitment-specific solution.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Uneven front brake pad wear
• Brake drag caused by a sticking caliper
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body
• Poor braking response from a worn hydraulic caliper
• Corrosion-related caliper seizure on the front left wheel

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor size, brake package, and front left position before ordering. Confirm the vehicle’s year, make, and model against the listed fitment for the Ford Explorer, Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKT, or Lincoln MKS. After installation, bleed the brake system and inspect for leaks, pad contact, and proper caliper movement.
