Detailed Description

This Carlson 7830 caliper piston is a brake hydraulics component used in the front disc brake assembly. On the Lincoln LS and Ford Thunderbird, the piston transfers hydraulic pressure into clamping force so the brake pads contact the rotor and slow the vehicle. This part is specified for 38mm diameter piston applications and is listed for D849 brake service references.

What It Helps Address

  • Brake fluid pressure not transferring properly at the caliper
  • Front brake drag caused by a worn piston surface
  • Poor pad-to-rotor contact during braking
  • Brake service needs on a leaking or damaged caliper piston
  • Restoration of front brake hydraulic function on listed vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify caliper bore size and piston diameter before installation. Inspect the caliper bore, seals, and brake fluid condition during service, and confirm the piston seats smoothly in the front caliper assembly. Bleed the brake system after completing hydraulic work and check for leaks before returning the vehicle to service.
