Detailed Description

Carlson 16188 is made for front disc brake caliper service where the rubber pin boots need replacement during brake maintenance.

This part number 16188 is listed for select vehicles with specific rotor and pad wear sensor configurations, including D1117, D1024, and D1151 notes where applicable.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
