Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7188
Rebuild your front brake caliper with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7096. The piston is the component inside the disc brake caliper that converts hydraulic pressure into clamping force: when you press the pedal, brake fluid pushes the piston outward so it presses the brake pad against the rotor. It's a front-position piston offered as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
A caliper piston may need attention if it is seized or sticking, pitted or corroded, dragging the pad against the rotor, or allowing fluid to weep past the seal. If a failed piston is the cause of your braking issue, this replaces it — diagnose the cause first. For balanced braking, it's good practice to service the caliper on both sides of the axle together.
