Front

Brake Caliper:

The caliper assembly consists of a pin slider caliper housing, inner and outer pad and lining assemblies and a single piston. The piston is plastic with a piston seal and a press-in type dust boot (Taurus SHO and police vehicles use a steel piston). The caliper is attached to the front suspension knuckle with two Torx (r) head locating pins. Rubber insulators isolate the stainless steel locating pins from direct contact with the caliper.

The inner pads are interchangeable left to right and use a three finger clip that fits inside the caliper piston. The outer pads are not interchangeable and use a dual-purpose clip which holds the brake pads on the caliper housing and also prevents caliper rattle. The flanges on both inner and outer pad assemblies slide on machined surfaces of the knuckle assembly.
