Details on Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a semi-assembled solution that simplifies brake system maintenance and replacement. This product line includes calipers pre-loaded with pistons and seals, reducing installation time and ensuring consistent quality. The 141.42068 caliper is a floating type, which allows for self-adjustment during braking, improving pad wear and braking efficiency. Its cast iron construction provides the necessary strength to withstand high braking forces, while the steel pistons ensure durability under heat and pressure.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features two 46mm diameter steel pistons and a banjo inlet fitting with an M10x1.0 thread size, compatible with the brake hydraulics system of Nissan Frontier and Xterra vehicles. The caliper comes with a mounting bracket and abutment clips included, but mounting hardware and brake pads are not included. The bleeder screw is included and has an M10x1.0 thread size, facilitating proper brake fluid bleeding during installation. The gray finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement of worn or damaged front disc brake calipers on Nissan Frontier and Xterra
• Resolving uneven brake pad wear due to caliper malfunction
• Addressing brake fluid leaks from faulty caliper seals or pistons
• Improving braking response and pedal feel by upgrading to a semi-loaded caliper
• Restoring proper brake function after caliper corrosion or damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with Nissan Frontier and Xterra front brake systems before installation. The caliper requires a mounting bracket, which is included, but mounting bolts must be sourced separately. Properly bleed the brake system using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain hydraulic pressure. Verify inlet fitting thread size (M10x1.0) matches existing brake lines. Use recommended torque specifications for mounting hardware to avoid damage or improper fitment.
