Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7040
The Carlson 7849 brake caliper piston for the 2003-2004 Dodge Dakota and other vehicles uses brake fluid pressure to push the brake pads against the rotor to stop the vehicle. This Carlson disc brake caliper piston resists corrosion for durability on harsh roads.
A corroded or sticking brake caliper piston can show up as brake fluid around the caliper, a pull to one side when braking, or one pad wearing faster than the others. Before you replace the piston, rule out a collapsed or leaking brake hose and seized slide pins, since either one can bring on similar symptoms.
It fits the 2003-2004 Dodge Dakota.
