Carlson 7848 Disc Brake Caliper Piston - Front or Rear

Carlson 7848 Disc Brake Caliper Piston

Carlson 7848 is a disc brake caliper piston built for brake hydraulic service where caliper pressure must transfer evenly to the pads and rotor. It is a direct-fit replacement for select Ford, Lincoln, Nissan, and INFINITI applications, including rear brake service on the Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT.

Detailed Description

The Carlson 7848 caliper piston is a brake hydraulics component that helps the caliper convert hydraulic pressure into pad clamping force. In service, that function is critical for consistent stopping performance and proper brake system operation. This part number 7848 is listed for rear Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT applications, along with front brake applications on Nissan TITAN, Armada, Pathfinder Armada, INFINITI QX56, and Dodge Dakota models.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake caliper piston wear or damage
• Uneven pad contact caused by a failing piston
• Brake fluid pressure transfer issues at the caliper
• Brake service on Ford F-150, Lincoln Mark LT, and Nissan TITAN platforms
• Front or rear caliper repair where the original piston no longer performs correctly

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm caliper design and position before ordering. This Carlson 7848 application coverage includes rear and front positions depending on vehicle fitment, so match the vehicle year, make, model, and brake configuration exactly. Inspect the caliper bore, seals, and related hydraulic components during service to help ensure proper operation after installation.

Quality Assurance

Carlson brake hydraulics parts are built for service replacement in brake systems where component fit and function matter. Use the confirmed vehicle fitment list to verify application before installation.
