The floating caliper design allows the caliper to move laterally, ensuring even pressure distribution across the brake pads. The single steel piston with a diameter of 48.01 mm provides the necessary force to engage the brake pads effectively. Included caliper slides help maintain proper caliper movement and alignment, reducing uneven pad wear. The gray finish protects against corrosion while maintaining an OEM look. This caliper does not include mounting hardware or a mounting bracket, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Explorer (rear disc brake systems)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Explorer Sport (rear disc brake systems)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury Mountaineer (rear disc brake systems)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Ranger (rear disc brake systems)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis caliper is intended for use as a rear OE stock replacement part, addressing issues related to brake performance and safety on these specific models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by This Caliper\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake caliper piston sticking or seizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven brake pad wear due to caliper slide failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fluid leaks from worn or damaged caliper pistons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking efficiency from corroded or damaged caliper bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise or vibration caused by faulty caliper operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the PowerStop L4605 caliper, ensure the brake system is properly bled using the 3\/8 x 24 bleeder screw thread size.
