CARDONE Reman Disc Brake Caliper P/N:18-5324
A1 CARDONE 18-B4839 front left brake caliper for the 2003-2004 Ford Mustang clamps the brake pads against the rotor to slow the wheel. This remanufactured caliper is unloaded and comes with its mounting bracket.
A disc brake caliper that binds can show up as the car pulling to one side under braking, squealing or a low pedal. A sticking slide pin, a collapsed brake hose or worn pads can be behind those signs too, so find the cause before buying a replacement.
This caliper is a direct-fit replacement for the front left of the 2003-2004 Ford Mustang.
Fit and size

The front left takes one caliper; the front right is a separate part ordered on its own, and the two sides are normally replaced together. Brake pads, mounting bolts and a bleeder screw cap are not included, so plan on new mounting bolts.

Is this A1 CARDONE brake caliper the front left for the 2003-2004 Ford Mustang?

Can I use a steel piston caliper in place of this phenolic piston one?

Can a sticking front caliper make a car pull to one side when braking?
Yes, it can. A caliper that binds can show as pulling to one side under braking, and a shop can inspect both calipers for sticky slides or pins.
What grease goes on the mounting pins of a floating caliper like this one?
