KUSATEC Front Disc Brake Caliper with Bracket for Ford Fusion / Lincoln MKZ / Mazda6 (2006-2013) — Driver & Passenger, Direct-Fit

KUSATEC 18B5000 / 18B5001 front disc brake calipers with brackets are direct-fit replacement units for compatible Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, and Mercury models, supplied ready to install on either driver or passenger side.

These front brake calipers are engineered to match original equipment fit and function for a range of mid-2000s sedans and coupes. Each caliper ships new and is pressure-tested to ensure sealing and piston movement before leaving the factory. Built from durable metals and elastomers, the assemblies include the mounting bracket where specified and aim to restore braking stability and pedal feel after a worn or leaking caliper has been removed.
