Duralast or Motorcraft front calipers?

rwmorrisonjr · Sep 25, 2022

Any thoughts on the differences between Duralast and Motorcraft reman calipers? Duralast is available locally while Motorcraft are through Rock Auto, and Duralast are about $50 cheaper due to no shipping and lower core deposit. Looking to wrap up my front end work this week by replacing them and doing a brake fluid flush.

Stick with Motorcraft. OEM doesn't necessarily always mean better but in yhis instance it does. Stick with OEM.

When I replaced claipers last year I didn't use Motorcraft due to lack of availability in the time frame I needed them. I used the powerstop remans and have been pleased so far. Coming up on about 13k of use with them and just about a year of service. No issues. Mine were installed on a 2003 EB. Powerstop Z36 Kit were chosen for the pads and rotors.

I haven't used duralast in many years due to quality issues a couple times about 10 years ago.

Motorcraft. Wouldn't think of anything else. I only want to do the job once.

Thanks for the replies. That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure. Going to order them and the flex hoses this week since I won't need to drive the Expy much, plus it's convertible weather now!
