Carlson 7827 Disc Brake Caliper Piston - Front

Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston 7827

The Carlson 7827 disc brake caliper piston is a front brake hydraulics component built for vehicles that use hydraulic pressure to move the caliper piston and clamp the pads against the rotor. It is a direct-fit service part for select Ford truck applications, including Ford F-150 and Ford F-250 front brake repairs.

Key Features

• Disc brake caliper piston for front brake service
• Uses brake fluid pressure to apply the brake pads to the rotor
• Designed for select Ford F-150, Ford F-150 Heritage, and Ford F-250 applications
• Fits D702 brake service applications noted in the vehicle listing
• Carlson part number 7827

Detailed Description

Carlson 7827 is a disc brake caliper piston for front brake hydraulics on select Ford trucks. In a disc brake system, the piston is a critical moving part inside the caliper assembly, converting hydraulic pressure into clamping force so the pads can slow and stop the vehicle. This part is listed for 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage front, 2001-2003 Ford F-150 front with 7700 lb GVW, 1999-2000 Ford F-150 front, 1999 Ford F-250 front under 8500 lb GVW, and 1997-1998 Ford F-250 front under 8500 lbs GVWR. Part number 7827 is also identified with D702 brake service applications.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake drag caused by a sticking or worn caliper piston
• Uneven pad contact during front brake service
• Loss of braking response from a damaged hydraulic piston
• Brake repair needs on Ford F-150 and Ford F-250 front calipers
• Service work tied to D702 caliper repair applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, front position, and GVW or GVWR notes before ordering. Inspect the caliper bore, seals, and related hydraulic components during service, and confirm the piston matches the D702 application listed for your truck. For best results, follow the vehicle service manual and bleed the brake system after hydraulic work is completed.

Quality Assurance

Carlson manufactures brake hydraulics components for service applications where accurate fitment and proper hydraulic operation matter. This piston is intended for the listed Ford front brake applications and supports restoration of normal caliper function when installed in the correct D702-equipped system.
