Front Right Brake Caliper w/Bracket for 2005-2010 Ford Escape

In this review of the Front Right Brake Caliper w/Bracket for the 2005-2010 Ford Escape (passenger side), the bottom line is straightforward: this is a solid, no-nonsense direct replacement for owners who need a reliable front passenger caliper that restores braking performance without fuss. It is aimed at DIYers and independent shops who want a pre-assembled caliper with bracket and hardware that fits factory mounting points and comes with corrosion-resistant coatings. The reviewer found the main reason to buy is the combination of fit and value for money for older Escape and compatible Mariner models.

Key Features

• Direct fit: Pre-assembled with mounting bracket and hardware to match original equipment mounting points for a straightforward swap without modification.
• Durable construction: Cast iron caliper body and steel piston provide long-term durability under normal driving conditions.
• Corrosion protection: Zinc coating and included EPDM seals help resist rust and thermal deterioration for longer service life.
• Complete kit: Comes with hardware and abutment kit included, reducing the need to source extra parts during installation.
• Compatibility guidance: Reference numbers and a full fitment chart are provided to confirm correct application for model years and production date cutoffs.

Who It's For

This caliper is best for owners of 2005-2009 Ford Escape and 2005-2008 Mercury Mariner with rear disc brakes, plus 2010 Escape units up to the specified production date who need a passenger-side front caliper replacement. It suits DIY mechanics who prefer a pre-assembled part and shops looking to replace a worn or seized caliper with a direct-fit unit.

It is not intended for vehicles outside the listed fitment or for drivers seeking high-performance or racing brake upgrades; those buyers should look for performance-oriented calipers or multi-piston, lightweight designs rather than this OEM-style floating caliper.
