Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7120

$24.99

Description

Keep your front brakes clamping firmly and evenly with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston, MPN 7120. It installs as a direct-fit front-caliper piston for many vehicles, among them the 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR and 2005-2010 Pontiac G6; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

Seated inside the front caliper bore, the piston is the part that receives brake-line hydraulic pressure and pushes the brake pad against the rotor when you press the pedal. A worn, scored, or corroded original can drag, stick, or clamp unevenly, so a fresh piston helps the caliper apply and release the pad the way it should.

Front caliper application: cataloged for the front brake position on the listed vehicles.
Transfers hydraulic force: converts brake-fluid pressure into the mechanical push that seats the pad on the rotor.
Direct replacement: a straightforward swap for a seized or corroded original piston during a caliper rebuild or service.

The listed applications use two pistons per vehicle at the front axle; confirm the quantity your caliper requires and replace as directed by the vehicle service procedure for balanced braking.
