Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7929
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.
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.
What does a brake caliper piston do?

The 2005-2011 Audi A6, 2005-2011 Audi A6 Quattro, 2020-2022 Ford Explorer, and 2020-2021 Honda Clarity. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
