This caliper assembly is semi-loaded, meaning it comes with pistons installed but requires brake pads to be added separately. Constructed from aluminum, the caliper offers a balance of strength and reduced weight, which can contribute to improved vehicle handling and braking response. The floating caliper design with two pistons ensures even pressure distribution across the brake pads, enhancing braking efficiency and pad life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifically engineered for the Ford Freestar, the FRC11542N caliper features a bleeder screw with an M10x1 thread, facilitating proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance. The included bracket has a mounting hole size of 14.000 mm and a thread pitch of 2.000 mm, ensuring compatibility with the vehicle’s brake mounting points. The piston diameter of 2.008 inches (51.000 mm) is optimized for the Freestar’s braking system requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Ford Freestar vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses uneven brake pad wear caused by faulty caliper pistons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolves brake fluid leaks from old or corroded caliper bleeder screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves braking performance by restoring proper caliper function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates brake noise and vibration related to caliper bracket misalignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the brake system is fully depressurized before removing the old caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify the mounting hole size and thread pitch match the vehicle’s specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the correct M10x1 bleeder screw wrench size to avoid damage during bleeding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads and rotors for wear and replace if necessary during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow manufacturer torque specifications for caliper bracket bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaybestos manufactures the FRC11542N caliper to meet strict quality standards, ensuring reliable performance and durability.
