Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7953
Keep firm, even pressure at the front brakes with the Carlson disc brake caliper piston (MPN 7830). This front caliper piston uses brake fluid pressure to force the brake pads against the rotor, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird and 2000-2006 Lincoln LS — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list and engine details.
Brakes work as a system, so when the friction material is being replaced, the caliper hardware is worth refreshing too. If a scored, seized, or leaking original piston is the cause of a dragging or spongy front brake, this replaces it.
Inspect both sides during service and replace the caliper hardware and friction material together for balanced, consistent braking.
Interchange: FH7830
