PowerStop L5482 front left brake caliper for the 2013-2019 Ford Escape and other vehicles clamps the brake pads against the rotor to slow the wheel. Like other PowerStop brake calipers, it is made for DIY and professional installers.
A sticking or leaking disc brake caliper can show up as a pull to one side under braking, a dragging wheel or brake fluid around the caliper. A pull alone does not prove the caliper is at fault; uneven tire wear can pull a car the same way.
As a caliper for the 2013-2019 Ford Escape, the 2013-2018 Ford Focus and the 2014-2023 Ford Transit Connect, it is a direct-fit replacement. This listing is one caliper for the front left; the 2013-2019 Ford Escape takes one on that side, and the front right is a separate part, since the other side of the front axle is normally done at the same time. If your car is not one of these, look up its year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section.

Build and materials
One front left caliper with new seals, caliper guide pins, dust boots, a bleeder screw and stainless steel brake pad attachment hardware. The mounting bracket, mounting bolts, brake pads, caliper grease, crush washers and pad wear sensor are not included, so plan on new mounting bolts, as the old ones may not be reusable.

Can I use the PowerStop L5482 as a Ford Focus brake caliper on a 2013-2018 Ford Focus?
Yes. The PowerStop L5482 is the front left caliper for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus. The front right side takes a separate caliper. For any other car, look up its year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Does the PowerStop L5482 come with the mounting bracket, pads and bolts?
No. The PowerStop L5482 comes with new seals, guide pins, dust boots, a bleeder screw and stainless steel pad attachment hardware, but not the mounting bracket, mounting bolts or brake pads.
Is this front left caliper floating or fixed?
Floating. It has one steel piston 56.90 mm in diameter and no integrated parking brake.
What are the dust boots on this caliper made of?
They are high temperature EPDM rubber. The caliper is also assembled with a lubricant meant to keep it operating smoothly in harsh conditions.
Could a torn dust boot or fluid at the front left caliper mean it needs replacing?
Yes, either can mean the caliper is failing, and so can a pull to one side under braking or a dragging wheel. A shop can test the brakes, so have it looked at promptly.
