Turn hydraulic pressure into clamping force at the front brakes with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7161. It serves as a front-position direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2007-2009 Audi TT Quattro, 2011-2015 Audi TTS Quattro, 2006 BMW 330i and 330xi, 2007-2013 BMW 335i, 2009-2016 BMW Z4, 2007-2013 Mazda 3, 2008-2009 Saab 9-3, 2009-2012 Volkswagen CC, 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R, and 2006-2013 Volvo C70 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Housed inside the front disc brake caliper bore, the piston receives brake-fluid pressure when you apply the pedal and moves outward to push the brake pad against the rotor.

  • Function: transfers hydraulic pressure from the caliper to the pad to apply the front brakes.
  • Fits the front axle: cataloged for the front caliper position on the listed vehicles.
  • Per-application quantity: the listed applications use two — order accordingly.
  • Signs it may need replacing: fluid seepage past the piston seal, a piston that sticks or is corroded/pitted in the bore, or uneven pad wear traced to that caliper.

Diagnose the cause of any brake concern before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources. Manufacturer part number 7161.
