Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper is a floating type caliper constructed from cast iron, providing durability and resistance to heat generated during braking. It features two steel pistons, each with a diameter of 43mm, which deliver balanced clamping force to the brake pads. The caliper includes a mounting bracket and abutment clips, facilitating proper alignment and secure installation on the Mazda MPV.
