is
an
aftermarket
replacement
piston
built
to
meet
or
exceed
OEM
specifications
for
vehicles
equipped
with
the
Akebono
Sport
Brake
Package.
Designed
specifically
for
the
upper
front

locations,

smooth
hydraulic

Product
Details
Over
time,
Akebono
caliper
pistons
can
develop
corrosion,
pitting,
or
wear
that
leads
to
reduced
pedal
feel,
inconsistent
braking
performance,
and
premature
pad
wear.
Damaged
piston
surfaces
can
compromise
the
fluid
seal,
allowing
moisture,
contaminants,
and
brake
fluid
seepage
to
interfere
with
proper
caliper
function.
This
aftermarket
piston
is
manufactured
to
OEM-equivalent
dimensions,
materials,
and
finish
to
ensure
reliable
sealing
and
smooth
piston
travel.
It
is
ideal
for
caliper
rebuilds
where
the
caliper
body
remains
in
good
condition,
but
the
original
pistons
show
signs
of
deterioration.
