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.

  • Front caliper piston: cataloged for the front brake position.
  • Core hydraulic component: transfers brake-fluid pressure to the pad to apply the brakes.
  • Direct-fit replacement: matches the listed Hyundai and Nissan applications.
  • Quantity varies by application: some vehicles use one piston per caliper, others use two — check the quantity shown for your vehicle below.

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.
