Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7086
Get brake-line pressure clamping the pad against the rotor again with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7114. This front caliper piston is the movable part inside the disc brake caliper that turns hydraulic pressure from the brake line into the force that presses the brake pad against the rotor. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata, and 2007-2010 Pontiac G5 (All engines).
Signs this piston may need replacing include a caliper that sticks or drags, uneven or rapid pad wear, or a piston that has become pitted or corroded in its bore. If a seized or corroded piston is the cause of your braking issue, replacing it helps restore free movement in the caliper; diagnose the underlying cause before installing. For even, balanced braking it's best to service both sides of the axle together as a matched pair. Manufacturer part number 7114.
