It's a caliper mount from what I could find online. Your best bet is to get one from a junkyard, the ones I found on fastpartsnetwork.com were $127 and the ford msrp was $207

Calipers wearing out do to a bad mount? Makes no sense. How does a caliper wear out?
What is actually happening to the brakes? Can you post a picture?
The only moving part on that mount is the slide pins which can be serviced or replaced IIR.
