Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7261

Keep firm, responsive braking on your classic Jeep with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston (MPN 7261). This front disc brake caliper piston is a direct-fit replacement for the 1979-1981 Jeep CJ5 [All] and 1979-1981 Jeep CJ7 [All], with 2 pistons used per application. It's the moving component inside the front caliper that transfers hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to the brake pad, pressing the pad against the rotor each time you apply the brakes.

• Front position: cataloged for the front disc brake calipers on the listed Jeep applications.
• Hydraulic actuation: converts brake-line fluid pressure into the clamping force that pushes the pad into the rotor.
• Direct-fit replacement: installs in place of the original piston during a caliper rebuild or service on the listed applications.
• Sold per piston: each listed application uses 2 pistons, so order accordingly.

Signs this piston may need replacing include fluid seepage past the caliper, a piston that sticks or won't retract, corrosion or scoring on the piston surface, or a dragging front brake. If a worn or pitted caliper piston is the cause of your braking issue, this replaces it. Replace both front pistons together for even, balanced braking.
