Technical Description and Compatibility

This disc brake caliper features a cast iron construction that provides strength and durability under demanding braking conditions. The semi-loaded configuration includes the caliper body and piston but requires brake pads to be installed separately, allowing for customization based on friction material preferences. The 2.000-inch piston diameter ensures proper hydraulic pressure distribution for effective braking. The bleeder screw thread size of 3/8"-24 is standard for brake bleeding procedures. This caliper is remanufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards and is compatible with Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis models.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Replacement for worn or seized calipers on Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis
• Addresses uneven brake pad wear caused by caliper piston issues
• Resolves brake fluid leaks from damaged or corroded caliper bodies
• Improves braking response when original calipers have lost hydraulic integrity
• Suitable for restoring braking performance after caliper hardware failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model. The semi-loaded design requires separate installation of brake pads and hardware. Ensure the bleeder screw thread matches your brake system tools (3/8"-24). Properly bleed the brake system after installation to remove air and maintain hydraulic pressure. Inspect brake lines and related components for wear during caliper replacement.
