Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7204

$24.99

Description

The Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7204 is the hydraulic plunger inside a front disc brake caliper — brake-fluid pressure pushes it outward so it drives the brake pad against the rotor. If your original front piston is seized, corroded, or leaking, this direct-fit replacement lets the caliper clamp and release smoothly again. It's a front-position piston for the 2000-2004 Audi A6, 2000-2004 Audi A6 Quattro, 2001-2003 Audi A8 Quattro, 2001-2005 Audi Allroad Quattro, 2000-2001 Audi S4, 2002-2004 Audi S6, and 2002-2005 Volkswagen Passat [All].

Function: Converts hydraulic brake-fluid pressure into the clamping force that presses the pad onto the rotor.
Position: Front caliper piston, per the catalog listing.
Quantity: The listed applications use 4 pistons per vehicle; order to suit your caliper setup.
Service tip: Best practice is to rebuild both front calipers together and use new seals as directed by the vehicle service procedure for even, balanced braking.

Manufacturer part number 7204.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this caliper piston do?

It's the hydraulic plunger in a front disc brake caliper. When you press the brakes, fluid pressure pushes the piston out so it forces the brake pad against the rotor.

What position is it and how many are used?

It's a front caliper piston. The listed Audi and Volkswagen applications use 4 per vehicle; confirm the count for your specific caliper setup.

What are signs my piston may need replacing?

Sticking or dragging front brakes, uneven pad wear, a seized or corroded piston, or fluid weeping at the caliper. These can have other causes, so diagnose before replacing.

Which vehicles does part 7204 fit?

Front brakes on the 2000-2004 Audi A6 and A6 Quattro, 2001-2003 A8 Quattro, 2001-2005 Allroad Quattro, 2000-2001 S4, 2002-2004 S6, and 2002-2005 VW Passat [All].

Should I replace more than one piston?

For even braking, it's best to service both front calipers together and install new seals as directed by the vehicle service procedure rather than replacing a single piston alone.
