Product details
Drilled/slotted rotors and black calipers identify this staggered-mount Ford rear kit. Internal parking assemblies and bearing retainers accompany the service brakes for the new-style big-bearing housing end with a 2.50-inch axle offset. Founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Its component range includes calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. The complete braking arrangement determines which individual components are appropriate.

Fitment & Compatibility
Match new-style big-bearing Ford housing ends and a 2.50-inch axle offset to DS-552. This staggered installation places the right caliper behind the axle and the left caliper in front to accommodate the intended shock arrangement. The Lincoln Town Car entry in the table below requires verification of the installed housing end and axle; model identification alone is insufficient. Confirm the bearing, rotor register, flange diameter and shock clearance. Internal parking shoes are supplied, while hoses, clevises and parking cables are separate; 330-9371 is the universal cable option. Nominal minimum wheel diameter: 15 in; 381 mm. Compare the actual wheel barrel and spokes with the linked clearance drawing; diameter alone does not establish fit.
