Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7953
Restore firm, even braking at the rear axle with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7182. This caliper piston drops into the rear disc brake caliper of the 2007-2012 Hyundai Veracruz [All], where it transfers hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to push the brake pad against the rotor each time you press the pedal.
Over time a caliper piston can seize, corrode, or tear its dust boot, leading to uneven pad wear, brake drag, or a soft pedal. If a worn or corroded original piston is the cause of those signs, this replacement restores proper piston movement inside the caliper. Always inspect the caliper bore, seals, and dust boot, and replace them as directed by the service procedure. For balanced braking, service both sides of the axle together as a matched pair.
What does this Carlson caliper piston do?
It is the moving part inside the rear disc brake caliper. When you press the pedal, hydraulic pressure acts on the piston, which pushes the brake pad against the rotor to slow the vehicle.
Which vehicle does the 7182 piston fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2012 Hyundai Veracruz [All]. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.
Is this a front or rear caliper piston?
It is cataloged for the rear disc brake caliper position on the listed Hyundai Veracruz application.
How many pistons do I need?
The Veracruz uses 2 per axle. Order the quantity required to service both rear calipers, and replace both sides together for balanced braking.
What are signs a caliper piston may need replacing?
Common signs include uneven pad wear, brake drag, a soft pedal, or a seized or corroded piston. Diagnose the cause and inspect the caliper bore, seals, and dust boot before replacing.
