Keep hydraulic pressure flowing to your brakes with the A1 CARDONE brake caliper (MPN 18-B8046B), a remanufactured disc brake caliper that houses the piston used to press the brake pads against the rotor. This is an unloaded caliper (supplied without pads), ships w/Bracket, and is cataloged for the front right and rear right positions. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2005-2016 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2005-2016 Ford F-550 Super Duty and 2008-2009 Ford LCF — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level fitment.
- 100% pressure-tested: every remanufactured unit is checked to deliver consistent brake performance.
- New high-temperature EPDM seals: rubber seals are replaced with new high-temperature EPDM rubber for extended life.
- Durable piston: resistant to cracking or pitting and built to handle great loads.
- Hardware included: arrives with a full set of brand-new hardware, new bleeder screws, and a plastic cap plug protecting the brake-port thread; new banjo bolts, washers, stainless steel clips and mounting pins are included where applicable, plus the mounting bracket.
- OE finish: treated with a specially formulated rust inhibitor and kept in the original equipment finish.
Signs a caliper may need replacing include brake drag, uneven pad wear, pulling to one side, a sticking or seized piston, or fluid weeping at the caliper. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
