Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7642
Keep the hydraulic side of your brakes clamping properly with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7617. This piston uses brake fluid pressure to force the brake pads against the rotor, doing its part in the brake system's job of slowing the vehicle. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1986-1989 Toyota Celica, 1987-1991 Toyota Camry, 1990-1991 Lexus ES250, 1998-2002 Kia Sportage, and the 2000 Toyota Celica (engine: All).
Signs this piston may need replacing include a seized or corroded piston, a caliper that drags, or uneven pad wear; if a failed piston is the cause, this replaces it. Because brakes work as a system, refresh the related hardware when the friction materials are due. Country of origin: Canada. Manufacturer part number 7617.
