Detailed Product Description

This disc brake caliper is designed specifically for Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, ensuring precise fit and function. The cast iron caliper casting offers robust structural integrity, while the phenolic piston reduces heat transfer to the brake fluid, helping to maintain braking efficiency. The inclusion of a bleeder screw facilitates proper brake system bleeding, essential for maintaining brake responsiveness. The gray E-coat finish protects the caliper from rust and corrosion, extending its operational life. Dust boots are included to shield the piston and internal components from dirt and moisture, preserving performance over time.
