Product Overview

This remanufactured disc brake caliper is built for brake hydraulic service and is identified by part number 97-17836B. It uses a cast iron housing with a rust-preventative finish, a steel piston, and a bleeder screw already installed for service-ready replacement.

Detailed Description

Nugeon 97-17836B is a remanufactured brake caliper engineered around the original hydraulic layout used on select Ford and Mercury platforms. The caliper includes a bleeder screw, dust boots, and brake pad installation hardware where applicable, and it is finished in grey with rust prevention in mind. Its 3-inch piston diameter and cast iron construction make it a practical replacement for restoring brake clamping performance on compatible vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Use 97-17836B when replacing a worn front left caliper on a Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, Ford Thunderbird, or Mercury Cougar with the matching hydraulic connection and mounting configuration.

Common Repair Uses

• Leaking caliper housing or piston seal failure
• Uneven brake pad wear from a sticking caliper
• Reduced braking response caused by hydraulic drag
• Corrosion on the original caliper body or finish
• Bleeding issues related to a damaged bleeder screw

Installation Notes

Verify the front left position, banjo-bolt inlet, and M10-1.5 thread size before installation. Confirm the piston diameter and housing style match the original caliper on the vehicle. Part number 97-17836B should be compared against the removed unit to ensure correct hydraulic and mounting compatibility on Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, Ford Thunderbird, and Mercury Cougar applications.

Quality Assurance

This Nugeon remanufactured caliper is built as a service replacement for brake hydraulic repair and is supplied with key service components already in place. The remanufactured construction and rust-preventative finish support consistent fitment and dependable brake system restoration.
