Front Brake Caliper Piston for 1994-1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500 & More - Carlson 7197

Keep firm, even pressure on your brake pads with the Carlson Brake Caliper Piston 7197, a direct-fit front replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1994-1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500, 1994-1997 Mercedes-Benz SL320 and 1990-1993 Mercedes-Benz 300SL; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. The piston is the component inside the caliper that transfers hydraulic fluid pressure into mechanical force, pushing the brake pad against the rotor each time you press the pedal.

• Front caliper piston: cataloged for the front brake position on the listed applications.
• Hydraulic actuation: receives brake-fluid pressure from the master cylinder and drives the pad into contact with the rotor.
• Direct-fit replacement: a straightforward replacement for a corroded, pitted, or seized original piston.

A pitted or sticking piston can drag the pad, cause uneven pad wear, or contribute to a spongy or low pedal. If the piston is the cause of these signs, this part replaces it. The listed applications use 8 pistons per vehicle; this item is sold individually, so order the quantity your calipers require, and inspect the seals and bore during service. Always diagnose the cause before replacing brake components.
