Keep your rear disc brakes clamping firmly with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7849. This rear caliper piston uses brake fluid pressure to force the brake pads against the rotor to stop the vehicle, and it installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2004 Dodge Dakota, plus additional 2005-2006 Dodge, Ford, and Lincoln applications — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Brakes are designed as a system, so brake service experts recommend refreshing hardware like the caliper piston whenever the friction materials are replaced. If a seized, scored, or corroded original piston is the cause of your rear braking issue, this part replaces it and restores proper piston movement in the rear caliper.
