Carlson 7563 Disc Brake Caliper Piston - Front

Carlson 7563 Disc Brake Caliper Piston

The Carlson 7563 disc brake caliper piston is a front brake hydraulic component for select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth minivans with KH brakes and an OE phenolic piston design. It helps transfer brake fluid pressure into clamping force at the caliper, supporting consistent pad-to-rotor contact during braking.

Key Features

• Disc brake caliper piston for front brake hydraulic service
• Designed for vehicles with KH brakes and OE phenolic piston applications
• Direct fitment for select Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, and Plymouth Grand Voyager models
• Fits front applications listed for 1984-1990 model years
• Carlson part number 7563 for brake repair and caliper service identification

Detailed Description

Carlson 7563 is a brake caliper piston built for front disc brake systems that use a phenolic piston configuration. In the brake hydraulic system, the piston responds to fluid pressure and moves the brake pads against the rotor to create stopping force. This part number 7563 is listed for 1990 Chrysler Town & Country, 1989-1990 Dodge Caravan, 1989-1990 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1989-1990 Plymouth Grand Voyager, 1989-1990 Plymouth Voyager, 1984-1988 Dodge Caravan, 1987-1988 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1988 Plymouth Grand Voyager, and 1984-1988 Plymouth Voyager, all in front position applications with KH brakes and OE phenolic piston notes.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake pedal travel caused by a worn or damaged caliper piston
• Uneven pad contact from piston wear or surface damage
• Brake fluid pressure loss at the caliper during service repair
• Front brake performance issues on KH brake-equipped minivans
• Noise or drag related to caliper piston condition

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s brake system details before ordering, including front position, KH brake setup, and OE phenolic piston configuration. Match the caliper bore and piston style to the original part during service. Clean the caliper housing thoroughly and inspect seals, pads, and rotor condition before reassembly. For best results, follow the vehicle service manual and bleed the brake system after installation.

Quality Assurance

Carlson brake components are built for brake system service where accurate fitment and hydraulic function matter. Part number 7563 is cataloged for the listed Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth front brake applications.
