Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7815
Carlson 7580 front brake caliper piston for the 1986-1992 Ford Taurus and other vehicles uses brake fluid pressure to push the brake pads against the rotor. Also called a disc brake caliper piston, it is the moving part inside the caliper bore.
A leak at the caliper or a car that pulls to one side can mean a worn or sticking piston. Before you replace the piston, rule out a seized slide pin or a collapsed brake hose as the cause. This listing is one piston for one front caliper; the caliper on the opposite side has its own piston, and both sides are normally replaced together. When the brake pads are due, the hardware is too.
This piston is a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1992 Ford Taurus, the 1988-1992 Lincoln Continental and the 1986-1992 Mercury Sable, and it matches OE quality specifications.
