Features and Specifications

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper features a 38mm piston diameter made of steel, providing reliable hydraulic pressure application. The caliper is constructed from cast iron, offering durability and resistance to heat generated during braking. It uses a floating caliper design, which allows for self-alignment and even pad wear. The inlet fitting is a banjo type with an M10x1.0 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines.

The caliper is finished in gray and comes with a bleeder screw (M8x1.25 thread) to assist with brake fluid bleeding during maintenance.

About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a balance between fully loaded and basic caliper assemblies. These semi-loaded calipers come with essential components such as mounting brackets, abutment clips, and bleeder screws, but exclude brake pads and mounting hardware bolts. This configuration allows for flexibility in maintenance and replacement, catering to professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts who may prefer to reuse existing hardware or select specific pads.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Volvo S40 and V40
• Addresses issues with uneven brake pad wear due to caliper misalignment
• Resolves brake fluid leaks from piston seals or bleeder screw areas
• Improves braking response when original caliper piston is seized or corroded
• Restores proper hydraulic pressure transmission in the brake system

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the mounting bracket is installed securely as it is required for proper caliper function. Since mounting hardware bolts are not included, use original or compatible bolts to meet torque specifications. Bleed the brake system thoroughly using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain optimal brake performance. Verify inlet fitting compatibility with your brake lines before installation. Note that brake pads and pad wear sensors are not included and must be sourced separately.
