Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7253
Keep firm, even braking at the rear axle with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston, MPN 7154. This is the piston that transfers hydraulic pressure from the rear brake caliper to the brake pad, pushing the pad against the rotor every time you press the pedal. It's a direct-fit rear caliper piston for many vehicles, among them the 2005-2008 Ford Escape, 2005-2006 Mazda Tribute and 2006-2012 Mercedes-Benz R350. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full application list.
If a corroded or sticking piston is the cause of your dragging rear brake, uneven pad wear, or poor pedal feel, replacing it during a caliper rebuild helps restore proper clamping action.
