Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7228

When a corroded or seized piston is behind a sticking front brake, the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7228 gives you a direct-fit replacement for the affected caliper. It installs on the front brakes of the 2001-2007 Chrysler Voyager, 2001-2007 Dodge Caravan, 2001-2006 Dodge Grand Caravan and 2003-2007 Chrysler Town & Country (All engines). This piston is the component that lives inside the caliper bore and does the actual clamping work every time you press the pedal.

• Core function: Moves outward under hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to press the pad against the rotor, then relaxes as pressure drops.
• Front application: Cataloged for the front brakes of the listed Chrysler and Dodge minivans.
• Quantity: The listed applications use two front pistons; replacing both sides together helps keep braking even and balanced.

A piston that has corroded or pitted can drag, stick, or weep fluid past its seal, which may show up as uneven front pad wear or a pulling brake. If a failed piston is the cause, this part provides a clean, correctly sized surface for the caliper seal to ride on. Diagnose the underlying cause before replacing.

Manufacturer part number 7228.
