WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2003 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The front wheel brakes utilize a dual piston brake caliper and disc brake system. See Figure. The front disc brake caliper bolts to the front disc brake caliper anchor plate, which bolts to the front wheel spindle, is a dual piston, pin slider design and has a fluid inlet at the center of the caliper housing.

The front disc brake rotors are of a ventilated full-cast design, with non-directional cooling fins. The rotors are mounted to the front wheel spindle and are serviced with the disc brake caliper and front disc brake caliper anchor plate removed. The front disc brake rotor shield is bolted to the front wheel spindle and protects the front wheel bearings and inboard surface of the front disc brake rotor. The front brake pads are housed in the front disc brake caliper anchor plate and are of a non-asbestos, semi-metallic composition.
