Keep your front brakes clamping firmly with the Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7975, a direct-fit front-caliper piston for the 2007-2012 Dodge/Mercedes Sprinter 3500, the 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500, the 2007-2015 Freightliner Sprinter 3500, and the 2010-2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500. The caliper piston is a vital piece of brake hardware: it uses brake-fluid pressure to force the pads against the rotor so the vehicle can stop. Because brakes work as a system, service experts agree that when the friction material is ready to be replaced, the hardware usually is too.
