Carlson 7626 Disc Brake Caliper Piston - Front

Carlson 7626 Disc Brake Caliper Piston

Carlson 7626 is a disc brake caliper piston for front brake service on select Mazda RX-7 and Toyota Corolla applications. It uses hydraulic brake pressure to move the caliper piston and press the pads against the rotor for stopping action.

Key Features

• Disc brake caliper piston for front brake hydraulics
• Direct-fit application coverage for select Mazda RX-7 and Toyota Corolla models
• Supports brake fluid pressure transfer at the caliper
• Part number 7626 for catalog and service identification
• Fits 1984-1988 Mazda RX-7, front, with listed brake configurations
• Fits 1984-1987 Toyota Corolla, front, disc brake configuration

Detailed Description

This Carlson caliper piston is built for front disc brake service where the piston must translate hydraulic pressure into pad clamping force. It is listed for 1984-1988 Mazda RX-7 front applications, including 1986-1988 RX-7 with standard suspension and D131 brake setup, plus 1984-1985 RX-7 front disc applications with D131 or D76 notes. It also fits 1984-1987 Toyota Corolla front disc brake applications with D282 notes. Use part number 7626 when matching the correct caliper piston for these vehicles.

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 caliper
• Hydraulic sealing issues inside the brake caliper
• Reduced braking response from damaged piston hardware
• Service needs on Mazda RX-7 and Toyota Corolla front disc brakes

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify caliper type, brake code, and front application before installation. Match the piston to the listed RX-7 or Corolla brake configuration, and inspect the caliper bore, seals, and fluid condition during service. Clean all mating surfaces and confirm proper brake system bleeding after assembly.

Quality Assurance

Carlson brake components are cataloged for specific hydraulic brake applications, and this piston is identified by part number 7626 for accurate service matching.
