Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.42052 features a cast iron construction that provides strength and resistance to heat generated during braking.

The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with an M10x1.0 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines on Nissan trucks and SUVs.
