Detailed Description

Carlson 7885 is a rear disc brake caliper piston built for brake system service on Dodge Ram 2500, Dodge Ram 3500, and Ram 2500/Ram 3500 applications listed above. In a disc brake system, the piston transfers hydraulic pressure into clamping force so the pads contact the rotor and slow the vehicle. This part number 7885 is a direct-fit brake hydraulics component for the specified rear D1400 caliper applications.

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

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Brake piston wear or scoring during caliper service
• Loss of proper hydraulic movement in the rear caliper
• Poor pad-to-rotor contact caused by a damaged piston
• Brake drag or uneven rear braking from piston condition issues
• Need for a replacement piston during rear caliper rebuild work

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear caliper type and D1400 application before installation. Inspect the caliper bore, seals, and brake fluid condition during service, and confirm the piston seats smoothly before reassembly. Match the vehicle year, make, model, and rear brake configuration exactly to the fitment list for Carlson 7885.

Quality Assurance

Carlson manufactures brake hardware and hydraulic components for service applications where correct fitment and brake system function matter. Carlson 7885 is specified for the rear Ram and Dodge Ram applications listed in the fitment data.
