Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.40044 is designed to meet the braking needs of Acura and Honda vehicles such as the Accord, Civic, Integra, Legend, and Prelude. The caliper features a floating design with a single 57mm diameter steel piston, providing consistent clamping force for effective braking. Its cast iron body ensures durability and resistance to heat generated during braking. The caliper comes semi-loaded, including the mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, but does not include brake pads or pad wear sensors.

The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with an M10x1.0 thread diameter, while the bleeder screw has an M10x1.25 thread size, both standard sizes for easy compatibility. The gray finish offers corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. This caliper requires the included mounting bracket for proper installation and weighs approximately 2.21 lbs for the bare bracket.

About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

This approach simplifies installation while allowing users to reuse existing brake pads if desired. The 141.40044 model exemplifies this by offering a cast iron floating caliper with a single piston, designed specifically for Acura and Honda vehicles, ensuring compatibility and reliable braking performance.
