Bring firm, consistent braking back to your Ford Transit van with the A1 CARDONE caliper 18-B5517 (also written 18B5517), a remanufactured unloaded disc brake caliper supplied with its mounting bracket. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2019 Ford Transit-150, 2015-2019 Ford Transit-250, 2015-2019 Ford Transit-350, and 2015-2019 Ford Transit-350 HD.
The caliper houses the piston that presses the brake pads against the rotor when you apply the brakes. Each A1 CARDONE brake caliper is expertly remanufactured to strict quality standards, then 100% pressure-tested for consistent performance.
This is an unloaded caliper, so brake pads are not included. A plastic cap plug protects the brake port thread until installation. Signs a caliper may need replacing include fluid leaks, a sticking or seized piston, uneven pad wear, or pulling to one side under braking. Replace both sides as a matched pair for balanced braking.
