Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7021
Carlson 7871 front brake caliper piston for the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer and other vehicles uses brake fluid pressure to push the brake pads against the rotor. Also called a disc brake caliper piston, it matches Original Equipment (OE) quality specifications.
A dragging brake, a car that pulls to one side or fluid at the caliper can mean the piston is worn or corroded, though the caliper seal or the brake hose can also be behind them. Do both front calipers at the same visit; this listing is a single piston.
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer and the 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, which take one piston each, and for the 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer, which takes two.
