Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7974
Keep firm, even brake application on your German SUV or wagon with the Carlson Brake Caliper Piston 7067. The caliper piston is the hydraulic plunger that rides inside the brake caliper bore — when you press the pedal, brake fluid pushes the piston outward to clamp the pad against the rotor. This piston fits both front and rear caliper positions on the listed applications, dropping in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2018 BMW X5, 2008-2019 BMW X6, and a wide range of Mercedes-Benz GL, ML, R and G-Class models. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Quantity used varies by vehicle — some applications call for four pistons and others two, so confirm the count your vehicle needs and service both sides as a matched set for balanced braking. Always inspect the caliper bore, seals and boot during installation.
