A full floating caliper is a type of disc brake caliper that is not rigidly mounted to the vehicle's suspension. Instead, it is designed to float or slide on its mounting brackets, allowing it to move slightly as the brake pads make contact with the rotor. This design helps to evenly distribute the clamping force across the brake pads, improving braking performance and reducing uneven wear. Full floating calipers are commonly used in automotive applications for their effective braking capabilities and ease of maintenance.
Most front wheel drive vehicles do. -The caliper in all vehicles is fixed and the 'floating disc' is the brake rotor.
semi floating axles on E150. Full floating on E250 and E350
The type of caliper that moves along its mounting bolts and bushings is known as a floating caliper. This design allows the caliper to slide slightly on its mounting points, which helps to evenly distribute the braking force across the brake pads. Floating calipers are commonly used in disc brake systems, providing effective braking performance with a simpler design compared to fixed calipers.
It is semi floating rear axel
Depending on the market and the model, full floating rear axles started appearing about 1976 - in the 45 series and others. Most rear axles in North America were semi-floating until about 1992, when the 80 series all came with full floating axles and rear disc brakes. There are far too many market and axle possibilities to make a blanket statement about what may or may not have been equipped with full floating axles and when.

They are free floating rotors , Remove the caliper and the rotors should pull off. If not they may be gaulded on and you will need to use a hammer to help them off

Their shape helps them to keep it floating by being full of air and their shape is mostly for speed and being able to move.
