Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7844

$26.99

Description

Keep hydraulic braking force moving where it belongs with the Carlson disc brake caliper piston (P/N 7844), a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of medium-duty trucks. It fits many vehicles in front and rear applications, including the 2003-2009 Chevrolet C4500 Kodiak — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

Brakes are engineered as a system, and every part has to work together. Inside the caliper, the piston uses brake fluid pressure to push the brake pads against the rotor so the vehicle can slow and stop. When the friction material is worn enough to replace, service experts agree the hardware should be refreshed too.

Hydraulic actuation: transfers brake fluid pressure to force the pads against the rotor.
OE-quality specs: matches Original Equipment (OE) quality specifications.
Built to tolerance: manufactured with quality materials to hold high tolerances.
Corrosion resistant: made to resist corrosion from harsh road conditions.

If a seized, scored, or leaking piston is behind your braking complaint, this replaces it as part of a proper caliper service.

Interchange: FH7844
