Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7953
Put reliable clamping force back behind your rear brakes with the Carlson disc brake caliper piston 7839. This REAR caliper piston uses brake fluid pressure to force the brake pads against the rotor to slow the vehicle, and it installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2001-2008 Dodge Ram 2500, 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 3500, and 2005-2008 Dodge Ram 4000.
Brakes are designed as a system, and the parts need to work together for the best performance. Industry brake service experts agree that when the friction material is ready to be replaced, the caliper hardware usually is too — making the piston a smart part to refresh during a brake job.
If a seized, scored, or corroded original piston is behind your dragging or uneven rear braking, this replaces it.
