Technical Details and Specifications

This disc brake caliper features a floating design constructed from cast iron, which offers strength and heat resistance. It includes two pistons, each with a diameter of approximately 2.122 inches, providing even pressure distribution across the brake pads. The caliper bracket mounting holes measure 16.000 mm with a thread pitch of 1.500, ensuring compatibility with the specified vehicle models. The bleeder screw thread size is 3/8"-24, compatible with standard brake bleeding tools. The semi-loaded configuration means the caliper comes partially assembled, simplifying the installation process.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or seized floating calipers on Ford Expedition and F-150
• Restores braking performance on Lincoln Navigator models with disc brake systems
• Addresses brake drag or uneven pad wear caused by faulty calipers
• Solves brake fluid leakage issues related to piston seals
• Improves pedal feel and braking response after caliper failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s year and model. The included bracket simplifies mounting, but ensure all mounting holes align properly. Use the specified 3/8"-24 bleeder screw thread for brake fluid bleeding. It is recommended to replace brake pads and hardware simultaneously for optimal performance. After installation, bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove air and check for leaks.
