Transfer hydraulic pressure to the front brake pads and clamp the rotor with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston (MPN 7035). This front disc brake caliper piston is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2005 Toyota Celica [All] and the 2005-2010 Scion tC [All].
The piston sits inside the front brake caliper bore and transfers hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to the brake pad, pushing the pad against the rotor when you apply the brakes. Over time the original piston can corrode or seize in its bore, so a fresh piston is a common part of a front caliper service or rebuild.
Signs the original piston may need replacing include a sticking or dragging brake, uneven pad wear, a caliper that won't retract, or fluid seeping past the piston. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources. Manufacturer part number 7035.
