Detailed Description

This Nugeon disc brake caliper, part number 97-17816A, is engineered as a remanufactured replacement for front right brake service on select Ford LTD, Mercury Grand Marquis, Mercury Marquis, Lincoln Continental, Lincoln Mark VI, Ford Country Squire, Ford LTD Crown Victoria, and Mercury Colony Park applications. The caliper uses a cast iron housing, steel piston, and banjo bolt inlet configuration with 3/8-24 and M10-1.5 thread specifications for the hydraulic connection. The 97-17816A is suited to buyers restoring braking performance on older rear-wheel-drive platforms that require the correct caliper design and mounting configuration.

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

What It Is Used For

• Restoring brake clamping force on a worn caliper.
• Replacing a leaking hydraulic caliper body or bleeder assembly.
• Correcting uneven braking caused by piston or seal wear.
• Addressing corrosion on the caliper housing or piston area.
• Returning proper brake pedal response on service vehicles.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front right position and match the inlet thread, banjo bolt style, and piston size before installation. Inspect brake hoses, pads, and related hydraulic components during service, and confirm the bleeder screw orientation matches the vehicle application. Use the fitment notes for police, taxi, wagon, and date-specific applications on 1980-1990 Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln models.

Quality Assurance

This remanufactured caliper is built by Nugeon and supplied as a service replacement for the listed applications. Part number 97-17816A should be matched to the exact fitment data to ensure correct brake system compatibility.
