Fitment & Compatibility
This kit is defined by the Ford Explorer 8.8 housing flange and 2.54-inch axle offset, including its register, bolt locations and rotor relationship. It is an axle-interface conversion rather than a blanket Explorer model-year fit claim. Internal shoes provide parking inside the one-piece hat/rotor assembly. DS-1425 calls for separate cable and clevis connections; a universal cable may need adaptation. Supply the hydraulic lines separately and check every part of the low-profile caliper envelope. Some 14-inch wheels may clear only after checking the drawing.
