Keep firm hydraulic clamping force reaching your brake pads with the A1 CARDONE caliper (P/N 18-B4996), a remanufactured unloaded disc brake caliper that ships with its mounting bracket. A caliper squeezes the pads against the rotor to slow the wheel, and this unit is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2005-2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty and the 2011-2012 Ford F-450 Super Duty — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
This is an unloaded caliper, so brake pads are not included. Each unit is treated with a rust inhibitor and kept in the original equipment finish. Signs a caliper may need replacing include fluid leaks, a sticking or dragging brake, or uneven pad wear.
