The caliper uses a cast iron body with two steel pistons and includes the bracket, slides, dust boots, and bleeder screw needed for the specified fitments. It is a practical replacement for worn, sticking, or leaking calipers on Ford Ranger and Ford Explorer brake systems, as well as Mazda B-Series and Mercury Mountaineer front left brake applications.
