This is a Genuine OEM Akebono replacement piston for vehicles equipped with the factory Akebono Sport Brake Package. Designed specifically for the upper front and rear piston locations, this part restores proper sealing, smooth piston travel, and consistent braking performance in your OEM Akebono calipers.

Product Details

Over time, Akebono caliper pistons can develop corrosion, pitting, or surface wear that affects pedal feel, braking consistency, and pad life. When the piston surface is damaged, it can no longer maintain a perfect seal with the caliper seals, allowing fluid seepage, moisture, and contaminants into the braking system.

This OEM piston is manufactured to exact factory specifications, ensuring correct dimensions, materials, and finish for long-term reliability. It is ideal for caliper rebuilds where the body is still in good condition, but the original pistons show signs of wear or damage.

Features

• Genuine OEM Akebono part – same spec as factory-installed piston
• Direct replacement for upper front and both rear piston positions
• Engineered for proper sealing and smooth piston movement
• Helps correct sticking pistons, uneven pad wear, and soft pedal feel
• Perfect for Akebono Sport caliper rebuilds or preventative maintenance
• Sold individually – order quantity as needed for your caliper rebuild

Fitment Notes

• For vehicles equipped with Akebono Sport Brake Calipers
• Replaces front upper and rear pistons only
• Front lower piston is different and must be purchased separately
• Does not fit standard (non-Akebono) calipers

Installation / Recommended Parts

• Inspect caliper bores, seals, and dust boots during disassembly
• We strongly recommend using a caliper rebuild kit (seals and dust boots) when installing new pistons
• After assembly, bleed the brake system and check for fluid leaks
• Verify pad contact and ensure the piston moves freely in the caliper

If your Akebono pistons show pitting or corrosion, replacing them with new OEM units is the right way to ensure your braking system performs like it should under both daily driving and spirited use.
