Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7009
Keep rear braking force working as intended with the Carlson disc brake caliper piston, part number 7654, which uses brake fluid pressure to push the brake pads against the rotor when you stop. This rear caliper piston fits many vehicles as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, among them the 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser, 2003-2006 Dodge Stratus and 2004-2005 Dodge Neon. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details and the full list of applications.
Brake service experts agree that when the friction material is ready to be replaced, the hardware is ready too, so a pad job is a good time to inspect the caliper pistons. Signs this part may need replacing include a pitted or corroded piston, a sticking or dragging brake, and uneven pad wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, follow the vehicle service information for the correct procedure, and bleed the brake system after installation.
