Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7101

$15.99

Description

Keep firm, even braking pressure at the front wheels with the Carlson Front Disc Brake Caliper Piston (P/N 7101). This piston rides inside the front brake caliper bore, where hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder pushes it outward to press the brake pad against the rotor — a common wear-and-corrosion point that can seize, pit, or leak over time. It is a direct-fit replacement for the front calipers on many vehicles, among them the 2006-2013 Chevrolet Impala, 2008-2009 Buick LaCrosse and 2014-2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Function: Transfers hydraulic pressure to the brake pad to apply the front brakes.
Application-specific fit: A direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Serviceable wear item: Replaces a piston that has become pitted, scored, or seized.

The listed applications use four pistons per vehicle. If a corroded or sticking front caliper piston is the cause of uneven pad wear, brake drag, or a soft pedal, this replaces it. When servicing a caliper, inspect the bore and seals and follow the vehicle service procedure for correct assembly and bleeding.

How many pistons do I need?
