Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7953
Carlson 7866 front brake caliper piston for the 2005-2006 Dodge Ram 1500 moves inside the caliper bore to press the brake pad against the rotor. Brake fluid pressure pushes a disc brake caliper piston outward, so a piston that sticks or leaks changes how the brake clamps.
A piston that sticks can show up as a brake that drags, a pad worn unevenly or fluid seeping around the caliper. These signs alone do not prove the piston is the problem, since a collapsed brake hose can also make a brake drag.
This front caliper piston fits the 2005-2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The truck takes eight pistons.
