PowerStop L5000 Disc Brake Caliper - Front Left

Front Left OE Replacement Caliper

PowerStop L5000 is a front left disc brake caliper built as an OE stock replacement for select Mazda 6, Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr applications. It bolts directly in place of the original caliper and is remanufactured for a direct-fit brake repair.

PowerStop’s Autospecialty OE Replacement Brake Calipers line focuses on stock-style replacement parts for drivers who want factory-type fitment and straightforward serviceability. The L5000 follows that approach with a gray cast iron housing, floating caliper design, and a 57.15 mm steel piston.

Detailed Description

PowerStop L5000 is engineered for drivers needing a front left brake caliper replacement that matches the original layout on 2006-2013 Mazda 6, 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ, 2006-2011 Mercury Milan, and 2006 Lincoln Zephyr models. The caliper is remanufactured with new seals and high-temperature EPDM rubber dust boots, and premium silicone lubricant is used to support smoother caliper movement and longer service life in demanding conditions. If you are searching for a front left brake caliper for a 2006-2012 Ford Fusion or a 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ, PowerStop L5000 provides a direct OE-style replacement path.

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

What It Helps Address

• Sticking or seized front left caliper movement
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Uneven pad wear caused by worn slides or piston issues
• Reduced braking response from a failing hydraulic caliper
• Corrosion-related caliper replacement on OE brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, pad wear, and brake hose condition before installation. Bleed the brake system after caliper replacement and confirm the bleeder screw thread size is M8 x 1.0 during service. Because this caliper includes the bracket and slides, compare the removed unit to the replacement before installation on your Mazda 6, Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Milan, or Lincoln Zephyr.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop remanufactures this caliper and bracket assembly in its Chicago, IL facility and pressure tests each unit to confirm piston operation and help prevent leaks. Every caliper is inspected for quality and safety before release.
