Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7232

Convert brake-fluid pressure into pad-clamping force at the front brakes with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7232. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the front brake calipers on the 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro and 1998-2002 Pontiac Firebird (engine: All), applications that use four pistons per vehicle.

The caliper piston is the component that converts hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid into the clamping force that pushes the brake pad against the rotor. Over years of heat cycling it can corrode, pit, or seize in the caliper bore, so fitting a fresh piston during a caliper rebuild helps the assembly apply and release cleanly.

• Function: Transfers hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to press the pad against the rotor.
• Front application: Cataloged for the front brake position on the listed vehicles.
• Quantity: The listed applications use four pistons per vehicle.
• Signs it may need replacing: A sticking or dragging brake, fluid seepage past the piston seal, or visible corrosion and pitting on the piston surface.

If a corroded or seized piston is the cause of your braking issue, this replaces it. Manufacturer part number 7232.
