Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7175
The Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7096 is the hydraulic piston that rides inside the front brake caliper, converting brake-fluid pressure into the clamping force that presses the pad against the rotor. It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit replacement for the front calipers, among them the 2007-2013 Nissan Altima, 2007-2019 Nissan Sentra, and 2007-2012 Nissan Versa.
Signs the original piston may need replacing include a sticking or dragging caliper, uneven pad wear, or brake fluid weeping past a corroded or pitted piston. If a failed caliper piston is the cause of these symptoms, this part replaces it; diagnose the caliper before ordering. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list.
