Apply firm, even clamping force to your brake pads with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7150, the hydraulic piston that rides inside your front brake caliper and pushes the pad against the rotor when you press the pedal. It's a direct-fit replacement for the front position on many vehicles, including the 2013-2019 Ford Fusion; if your vehicle isn't named here, check the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
- Function: Transfers hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to the pad, clamping it against the rotor for braking.
- Front position: Cataloged for the front caliper on the listed vehicles.
- Per-application quantity: The listed applications use two pistons; order accordingly.
A pitted, scored, or seized piston can cause dragging, uneven pad wear, or a soft pedal. If a worn caliper piston is the cause of your braking issue, this replaces it. Inspect the caliper bore, seals, and boot during service, and replace pistons on both sides of the axle together for balanced braking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a brake caliper piston do?
It sits inside the caliper and transfers hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to the brake pad, pushing the pad against the rotor to slow the vehicle when you apply the brakes.
Is this piston for the front or rear?
It is cataloged for the front caliper position on the listed applications.
How many pistons do I need?
The listed applications use two pistons. It is best practice to service both sides of the axle together, so order the quantity your caliper and vehicle require.
What are signs a caliper piston may need replacing?
A pitted, scored, or seized piston can lead to brake drag, uneven pad wear, or a soft or spongy pedal. Diagnose the cause before replacing to confirm the piston is at fault.
Does it fit my vehicle?
It fits many vehicles, including the 2013-2019 Ford Fusion. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to verify your exact year, make, and model.
