The Carlson 7959 front brake caliper piston for the 2015-2017 Acura TLX and other vehicles uses brake fluid pressure to force the brake pads against the rotor and stop the car. This Carlson disc brake caliper piston moves outward as you press the pedal.
A front brake that drags, a pull to one side when you stop, or pads worn unevenly can mean a caliper piston is sticking. Before you replace the caliper piston, rule out a seized slide pin, a restricted brake hose or a worn caliper seal, because any of these can make the brakes act this way. Have brake trouble looked at promptly.
This caliper piston is listed for a range of Acura and Honda models, including the 2009-2014 Acura TL and the 2006-2011 Honda Ridgeline. If your car isn't named here, open the Buyer's Guide tab and look up your exact model and engine.
