Purpose and Vehicle Placement

The presented caliper is designed for installation in the rear axle area on the left side. This precise vehicle placement ensures correct cooperation with the disc, pads, and brake line, as well as with the mounting elements specific to the Ford Transit.

Thanks to its dedicated position in the braking system, the proper piston geometry, even pad pressure, and stable caliper guidance in its brackets are maintained.

Technical Characteristics and Compatibility

The caliper belongs to the Brake Calipers and Brackets group, meaning it is structurally adapted to work with the factory Ford braking system components. The appropriate piston diameter, mounting hole spacing, and guide geometry are tailored to the specific requirements of the Transit model, facilitating installation and reducing the risk of improper fit.

Its genuine Ford origin promotes consistency with other system components, and the presence of the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers (visible in the specifications) allows for precise matching to a specific vehicle version during pre-purchase verification.

Condition, Functionality, and Service Application

The item is offered as a used part, which practically means the possibility of an economical brake system repair while maintaining the original design. This type of component is particularly useful for:

• repairs after uneven wear of pads or disc on the left rear side,
• mechanical damage to the caliper (e.g., seized guides, piston seal leaks),
• servicing fleet vehicles where part consistency and conformity are important.

A correctly selected caliper helps restore even braking on the rear axle, which translates to vehicle stability during braking, especially with a loaded Ford Transit.

Benefits of Using a Genuine Ford Caliper

Using a genuine caliper in a Ford Transit offers several significant service benefits:

• Factory Fitment – no need for modifications to mounts or lines, compatibility with original brackets.
• Consistent braking performance – maintaining the braking force and progression on the rear axle as intended by the manufacturer.
• Easier diagnostics – unambiguous assignment to the Ford braking system simplifies workshop operations and the selection of other components.

For users who want to maintain their vehicle in a configuration close to the factory standard, choosing a genuine caliper is a technically safe and predictable solution in terms of operation.
