It is a 2005 Mazda 3 with a 2.3, according to a VIN lookup at the ford site, and I'm the original owner.
I ordered a refurbished front-right caliper using a store's online vehicle lookup and the caliper they sent doesn't match the one that came with the vehicle. The information on the left side of the original caliper is: "FoMoCo, 7, 390, RH", and there is "814" at the top. The new caliper is: "FoMoCo, 8, 3Z3, RH" with the "814". Also, the original mounting bolts have a courser thread than the new mounting bracket.
I looked online for a refurbished "FoMoCo, 7, 390, RH, 814", but I wasn't able to find a caliper with that information. Does anyone know what these numbers mean and how to find the correct replacement caliper?
