Move hydraulic pressure straight to your rear brake pads with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston (P/N 7157). This is the rear-position piston that seats inside the brake caliper bore, and it fits a broad list of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Mitsubishi and Toyota applications — including the 2011-2014 Chrysler 200, 2008-2014 Dodge Avenger, 2007-2017 Jeep Patriot, 2001-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse and 1994-2011 Mitsubishi Galant. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full fitment list.

  • Mechanical job: under hydraulic pressure from the caliper, the piston moves outward to press the brake pad against the rotor.
  • Rear position: cataloged as a rear disc brake caliper piston for the listed applications.
  • Quantity: the listed applications use two (one per rear caliper) — order accordingly; this listing reflects the stated package quantity.
  • May need replacing when: the original piston sticks or won't retract (brake drag), shows seepage at the caliper, or contributes to uneven pad wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these signs can have other sources.

Manufacturer part number 7157.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a disc brake caliper piston do?

It sits in the caliper bore and, under hydraulic pressure, moves outward to press the brake pad against the rotor. When you release the pedal, it eases back so the pad relaxes.

Is this a front or rear piston?

It is cataloged as a rear disc brake caliper piston for the listed applications.

How many pistons do I need?

The listed applications use two (one per rear caliper). Order according to your vehicle's setup; this listing reflects the stated package quantity.

Will it fit my vehicle?

It's listed for many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Mitsubishi and Toyota models, such as the Chrysler 200, Dodge Avenger and Jeep Patriot. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

How do I know if my caliper piston needs replacing?

Signs include a piston that sticks or won't retract, causing brake drag, fluid seepage at the caliper, or uneven pad wear. Diagnose the cause first, as these can have other sources.
