Press every front-brake pad firmly against the rotor with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston (MPN 7063). Seated inside the front brake caliper, the piston is the moving component that transfers hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to the pad, clamping it against the disc when you press the pedal. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on many vehicles, including the 2018-2022 Honda Accord and 2013-2022 Ford Escape — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Quantity needed varies by application — some vehicles use one, two or as many as eight pistons per application, so consult the Buyer's Guide and your service information for the correct count. Signs a piston may need replacing include a sticking caliper, fluid seepage, or reduced or uneven braking. Diagnose the underlying cause before replacing.
