that isn't an STX Vs Non-STX issue that is a production date issue

For most of 1986 and 1987 (through the end of February of 87)
used an oddball caliper that took different brake line and (outboard)

The "common" caliper was used on all other Ranger/bronco2 and Explorers
through the end of 1994...

The common caliper has it's connection on the back side of the cylinder
The "oddball" has it's connection on the "top" of the caliper.

Rebuilt calipers, brake pads and especially brake lines
are several times the cost of the comparable pieces for
the common caliper.
