Product Line Details: 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. This product line provides calipers that come with some components pre-installed, such as bleeder screws and abutment clips, but excludes pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier installation and maintenance while giving flexibility to use existing or preferred brake pads and hardware. The 141.44138 caliper fits within this line, delivering a semi-loaded solution tailored for Lexus and Toyota brake systems.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a fixed design with four steel pistons, each with a diameter of approximately 45.5 mm (1.791 inches), ensuring even pressure distribution on the brake pads. The caliper body is made from cast iron, providing strength and heat resistance necessary for demanding braking conditions. The inlet thread diameter is M10x1.0, compatible with both banjo and open fitting types, facilitating flexible brake line connections. The included bleeder screw also uses an M10x1.0 thread size, allowing for proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance. Abutment clips are included to secure the brake pads, although the pads themselves and mounting hardware are not part of this assembly.
