Detailed Description

PowerStop L5502 is engineered as a direct replacement disc brake caliper for select front left applications on the Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX, and Lincoln Nautilus. The caliper and bracket are remanufactured in PowerStop’s Chicago facility, then pressure tested to confirm piston function and help prevent leaks before installation. The Autospecialty OE Replacement line focuses on stock-style brake service with the components needed for a proper hydraulic caliper rebuild.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Use PowerStop L5502 when replacing a worn or leaking caliper on compatible Ford Edge and Lincoln Nautilus vehicles, including the listed front left fitments.

Common Repair Uses

• Leaking brake fluid from a worn caliper seal or piston area.
• Uneven braking caused by sticking caliper slides or piston movement.
• Brake drag from a caliper that does not release properly.
• Corrosion or wear on the original cast caliper body.
• Brake service on a vehicle that needs an OE-style hydraulic replacement.
