Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.42097 features a floating caliper design with two steel pistons, each measuring 44.5 mm in diameter, providing balanced braking force. The caliper body is constructed from cast iron, offering strength and heat resistance necessary for demanding braking conditions. It includes a mounting bracket and abutment clips to facilitate installation and ensure proper pad alignment. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with an M10x1.0 thread, compatible with standard brake lines on the Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX4.

This semi-loaded caliper does not include brake pads or mounting hardware, so those components must be sourced separately.
