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 semi-loaded design includes the caliper body, piston, mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, but excludes pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier customization and replacement of specific components while maintaining OEM-level quality and fitment for vehicles like the Toyota Highlander.
Technical Description and Features
This disc brake caliper features a single 38mm steel piston housed in a durable cast iron body, ensuring consistent braking force and heat resistance. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment during braking, reducing uneven pad wear. The inlet fitting supports both banjo and open types with an M10x1.0 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. The included mounting bracket and abutment clips facilitate secure installation, while the bleeder screw with M7x1.0 thread size allows for efficient brake fluid bleeding. The gray finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance.
Common Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement for worn or damaged front or rear disc brake calipers on Toyota Highlander
- Addresses issues with brake fluid leaks or piston sticking
- Resolves uneven brake pad wear due to caliper malfunction
- Improves braking response and pedal feel
- Suitable for restoring OEM braking performance after caliper failure
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the mounting bracket is properly secured as it is required for installation. Although mounting hardware is not included, use OEM or compatible bolts for safety. Verify the inlet fitting type matches your vehicle’s brake line connection. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain optimal brake performance. Inspect brake pads separately as they are not included with this caliper.
