Restore firm, even brake clamping force with the Carlson Brake Caliper Piston (MPN 7035), a direct-fit front caliper piston for the 2005-2010 Scion tC (All) and the 2000-2005 Toyota Celica (All). The piston is the moving component inside the disc brake caliper: when you press the pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes it outward to press the brake pad against the rotor, and it retracts to release. A pitted, seized, or corroded original piston can cause a soft pedal, uneven or dragging brakes, and fluid leakage past the seal.
If a failed or corroded piston is the cause of your brake drag, soft pedal, or seal leak, this replaces it. Always inspect the caliper bore, seals, and hydraulic components, and follow the vehicle service procedure for correct bleeding and torque.

What are signs my caliper piston may need replacing?
Common signs include a soft or spongy pedal, brakes that drag or apply unevenly, or fluid leaking past the piston seal. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
How many pistons should I order?
