Carlson 7654 Disc Brake Caliper Piston - Rear

Carlson 7654 Rear Disc Brake Caliper Piston

The Carlson 7654 disc brake caliper piston is a rear brake hydraulics component built for vehicles that rely on caliper pressure to clamp the pads against the rotor. It is a direct-fit style replacement for select Chrysler and Dodge rear disc brake applications, including PT Cruiser, Sebring, Stratus, and Neon models.

When rear brake performance is affected by piston wear, corrosion, or sticking, this piston helps restore proper caliper operation. Carlson 7654 is used in rear disc brake service where accurate hydraulic movement is required for consistent braking response.

Key Features

• Disc brake caliper piston for rear brake hydraulics service
• Uses brake fluid pressure to move the caliper piston against the pads
• Fits select Chrysler and Dodge rear disc brake applications
• Application coverage includes 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser, 2003-2006 Chrysler Sebring, 2003-2006 Dodge Stratus, and 2004-2005 Dodge Neon
• Part number 7654 for catalog and fitment lookup

Detailed Description

Carlson 7654 is a rear disc brake caliper piston designed for vehicles where the caliper piston is part of the hydraulic braking system. It supports the movement that forces the brake pads against the rotor, making it an important service part when rebuilding or repairing rear calipers. This part number 7654 is listed for multiple Chrysler and Dodge rear brake applications, including Chrysler PT Cruiser rear, Chrysler Cirrus rear, Chrysler Sebring rear, Dodge Stratus rear, and Dodge Neon rear.

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

What It Helps Address

• Rear brake caliper piston sticking or uneven movement
• Brake fluid pressure not translating into proper pad contact
• Brake drag caused by worn or damaged caliper piston surfaces
• Reduced rear braking response during caliper service
• Repair needs on Chrysler PT Cruiser, Sebring, Stratus, or Neon rear disc brakes

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear caliper design and vehicle fitment before installation. Clean the caliper bore thoroughly, inspect seals and related brake components, and follow the vehicle service procedure for brake system bleeding after assembly. For fitment confirmation, use the exact year, make, model, and rear position listed for Carlson 7654.

Quality Assurance

Carlson designs brake components as part of a complete system, with the caliper piston serving a critical role in hydraulic brake operation. Confirm application by vehicle and rear brake configuration before ordering.
