Carlson 7712 Disc Brake Caliper Piston

The Carlson 7712 disc brake caliper piston is a brake hydraulics component that uses brake fluid pressure to push the pads against the rotor for stopping power. It is built for front brake applications on select Chevrolet and GMC heavy-duty trucks, including Chevrolet C35, Chevrolet C3500, and GMC C3500 models.

Key Features

  • Disc brake caliper piston for front brake service
  • Uses hydraulic pressure to move the brake pads against the rotor
  • Designed for 1996-2000 Chevrolet C35 and C3500 applications
  • Designed for 1996-2000 GMC C3500 applications
  • Fits 15,000 lb GVWR, wide track axle, D380 disc brake hardware kit applications
  • Carlson part number 7712 for brake hydraulics replacement

Detailed Description

As part of the brake system, the caliper piston plays a direct role in converting hydraulic pressure into clamping force at the rotor. Carlson 7712 is a front disc brake caliper piston for 1996-2000 Chevrolet C35, 1996-2000 Chevrolet C3500, and 1996-2000 GMC C3500 trucks with 15,000 lb GVWR, wide track axle, and D380 disc brake hardware kit notes. This part number, 7712, is a focused replacement for heavy-duty front brake service where correct hydraulic movement is critical.

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

What It Helps Fix

  • Uneven or weak brake pad clamping at the rotor
  • Brake drag caused by a sticking caliper piston
  • Loss of braking response from worn hydraulic components
  • Front brake service needs on Chevrolet C35 and C3500 trucks
  • Front brake service needs on GMC C3500 trucks

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s front brake configuration, including GVWR, axle type, and D380 disc brake hardware kit notes, before ordering. Inspect the caliper bore, seals, and surrounding brake hardware during service, and confirm the piston seats correctly during reassembly. Use proper brake system procedures and bleed the hydraulic system after installation.

Quality Assurance

Carlson brake hydraulics components are built for brake system service where accurate hydraulic operation matters. This piston is intended for the listed Chevrolet and GMC heavy-duty truck applications and should be matched to the exact front brake configuration.
