Carlson 7787 Disc Brake Caliper Piston - Front

Carlson 7787 Disc Brake Caliper Piston

The Carlson 7787 disc brake caliper piston is a front brake hydraulics component that helps convert brake fluid pressure into clamping force at the rotor. It is a direct-fit style replacement for select Ford, Mercury, and Volvo front disc brake applications, including Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, Mercury Cougar, and Volvo S80.

Key Features

• Disc brake caliper piston for front brake hydraulic service
• Uses brake fluid pressure to push the brake pads against the rotor
• Built for select front disc brake caliper applications
• Fits 1995-2002 Mercury Cougar, front
• Fits 1995-2000 Ford Contour, front
• Fits 1995-2000 Mercury Mystique, front
• Fits 1999 Volvo S80, front
• Part number 7787 for application matching and catalog lookup

Detailed Description

Brake systems depend on every hydraulic component working together, and the caliper piston is one of the parts that directly transfers hydraulic pressure into stopping force. Carlson 7787 is made for front disc brake service on select vehicles, including Mercury Cougar, Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, and Volvo S80 applications. If you are servicing a front caliper on a vehicle listed in the fitment data, this piston supports proper caliper operation and brake pad engagement at the rotor.

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 components
• Uneven pad contact at the front rotor
• Hydraulic caliper service on front disc brake systems
• Brake drag related to caliper piston wear or damage
• Restoration of proper braking response during caliper repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and front brake configuration against the fitment list before installation. Clean the caliper bore thoroughly and inspect related hydraulic parts, seals, and pads during service. Confirm the piston matches the caliper design noted in the application details, such as D745, D762, D794, or D801 references where listed.
