Front caliper differences?
hey guys. Bought an 03 Mustang that may have a sticking front caliper. Snow on the ground so haven’t torn it apart yet. Anyway, local parts store lists 03-04 calipers as different than 99-02. They do not have and cannot order a left side 03-04 caliper. There are both sides for a 99-02 in stock. Measurements are the same. Material is the same. They look the same. What’s the difference? Can I run 99-04 calipers?

Comparing the two on RockAuto, I have to agree- they look 100% identical. But unless there's a typo in the specs, the threads for the hose are different.
On the info pages, I'm seeing a M10 x 1.0 inlet on the A-1 CARDONE 18B4723 (1999-2002), and a M10 x 1.5 inlet on the A-1 CARDONE 18B4839 (2003-2004).
If that's the only difference, then I don't see why you couldn't just go ahead and use the '99-'02 calipers, provided that you replace the banjo bolt with one that has the correct threads.

Yeah, not sure what the deal is with that. 55 of one side in the warehouse, 0 of the other. Atleast it worked out with the earlier stuff
