Carlson 7689 Disc Brake Caliper Piston - Front

Carlson 7689 Disc Brake Caliper Piston

Carlson 7689 is a front disc brake caliper piston for select Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, and Oldsmobile applications. It transfers hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid to the brake pads, helping the caliper clamp the rotor for stopping power.

Use this caliper piston when servicing front brake hydraulics on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire, and Pontiac Grand Am. Part number 7689 is built for specific brake system applications, so thread size and length should be verified before installation where noted.

Key Features

• Disc brake caliper piston for front brake service
• Uses brake fluid pressure to move the pads against the rotor
• Fits select D506 and D673 brake system applications
• Application-specific coverage for Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire, Pontiac Grand Am, and related models
• Carlson part number 7689 for brake hydraulic repair

Detailed Description

Carlson 7689 is a brake hydraulic component used in front disc brake calipers. In a functioning brake system, the piston converts hydraulic pressure into clamping force, which is essential for consistent pad engagement and rotor contact. This part number 7689 is listed for multiple front applications across Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire, Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Achieva, Pontiac Grand Am, Pontiac Sunbird, Chevrolet Corsica, and Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais models.

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