On Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty trucks, a worn piston can affect pedal feel and braking response, so replacing the piston is a direct way to address caliper-related hydraulic wear. Part number 7896 is listed for 2011-2014 Ford F-350 front, 2011-2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty front, and 2011-2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty front service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake caliper piston wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven or inconsistent pad application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydraulic braking response loss at the caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake drag caused by a damaged piston surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront brake rebuild needs on Ford Super Duty trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the caliper bore, seals, and brake fluid condition before installation.
