Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7953
Keep brake fluid pressure driving the pads against the rotor with the Carlson disc brake caliper piston 7831, a front-position replacement for the caliper hardware on popular Dodge and Ford applications. It fits the 1998 Dodge B1500, 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 1500, 1999-2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van, 2004-2007 Ford E-150, 2004-2005 Ford E-150 Club Wagon, and 2007 Ford E-150 Econoline — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
Inside the caliper, the piston transfers hydraulic brake-fluid pressure to press the pads against the rotor. Brakes work as a system, so when the friction material is due, the caliper hardware is typically ready for renewal too.
If a seized, scored, or corroded piston is behind a dragging or uneven-braking condition, replacing it helps restore proper caliper operation. Service the related brake hardware at the same time for balanced, even braking.
