Restore smooth, even clamping force at the rear brakes with the Carlson Rear Brake Caliper Piston (MPN 7083). It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2011 Audi A6 [All], 2005-2011 Audi A6 Quattro [All], 2020-2022 Ford Explorer [All], and 2020-2021 Honda Clarity [All]. The piston is the component inside the rear brake caliper that transfers hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to the brake pad, pushing the pad against the rotor each time you apply the brakes.

  • Rear caliper application: serves the rear brake caliper on the listed vehicles.
  • Core function: converts hydraulic pressure into the mechanical force that applies the brake pad.
  • Signs it may need replacing: a piston that is pitted, corroded, or seized can drag the pad, cause uneven pad wear, or contribute to a soft or sinking pedal — diagnose the cause before replacing.
  • Quantity: the listed applications use two per rear axle; order 2 for a complete job and service both sides together for balanced braking.

If a corroded or seized original piston is the cause of your rear-brake issue, this replaces it. Always inspect the caliper bore, seals, and pads during installation and refer to the vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
