Keep hydraulic pressure moving where it counts with the Carlson Brake Caliper Piston 7004, a front disc brake caliper piston that uses brake fluid pressure to force the brake pads against the rotor. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 Audi TT, 1999-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, 1996-2006 Volkswagen Golf and 1996-2005 Volkswagen Jetta. When the friction material is due for service, industry brake experts agree the hardware is due too — a worn, scored, or seized piston can drag the pads or cause uneven braking.
Front applications use two pistons; this listing is for one piston, so order the quantity your vehicle requires and replace both sides together for balanced braking. Country of origin: China.
