Part number 15160 is a direct service solution for the listed RX-7 configurations, and 15160 may also be referenced during brake system maintenance and parts lookup.

Common Repair Uses

• Brake fluid seepage at the caliper seal area
• Sticky or slow caliper piston return
• Uneven front brake response
• Loss of sealing performance in a serviced caliper
• Restoration of front disc brake caliper function on Mazda RX-7 models

Installation Notes

Clean the caliper thoroughly before assembly and inspect the piston, bore, and slide surfaces for wear or corrosion. Replace damaged components as needed and follow the vehicle service manual for brake bleeding and torque procedures after installation. Confirm the caliper type and front fitment against the vehicle’s brake configuration before ordering Carlson 15160.

Quality Assurance

Carlson designs brake service parts as part of a complete system approach, using sealing components that support proper caliper operation through the apply and release cycle. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
