Carlson 7508 Disc Brake Caliper Piston - Front

Carlson 7508 Disc Brake Caliper Piston

The Carlson 7508 disc brake caliper piston is a front brake hydraulic component for classic Ford applications. It uses brake fluid pressure to move the caliper piston and press the brake pads against the rotor, helping restore consistent stopping performance.

Detailed Description

Built for brake hydraulic repair, Carlson 7508 is used in front disc brake caliper service on Ford trucks, vans, and Bronco models from 1973 through 1983. This part number is listed for applications including Ford F-100, Ford F-150, Ford F-250, Ford Bronco, and Ford Econoline front brake systems, including a single piston caliper setup on the F-250 and a D91 standard power brake note on 1980-1983 F-100 models. If you are searching for a front disc brake caliper piston for a 1970s Ford F-100 or a front brake caliper piston for a Ford Bronco, Carlson 7508 is the direct fitment reference.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake pedal travel caused by worn caliper piston surfaces
• Uneven pad contact at the front rotor
• Reduced hydraulic response in the caliper
• Brake drag from a piston that no longer moves smoothly
• Front disc brake service on older Ford truck and van platforms

Installation Notes

Inspect the caliper bore, seals, and brake fluid condition before assembly. Clean all hydraulic surfaces thoroughly and verify that the piston matches the caliper design and vehicle note before installation. After service, bleed the brake system and confirm proper pedal feel and rotor contact.

Quality Assurance

Carlson manufactures brake hardware and hydraulic components for service applications where the parts must work together as a system. Part number 7508 is cataloged for specific Ford front disc brake fitments to support accurate replacement selection.
