Details on Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line is designed to provide a semi-assembled solution that simplifies brake system maintenance and replacement. This product line includes essential components such as the mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, reducing the need for additional parts during installation. The 141.47048 caliper features a cast iron body for durability and heat dissipation, while the two steel pistons with a 43mm bore size ensure even pressure distribution on the brake pads. The floating caliper type allows for smooth movement and effective braking, particularly suited for the trailing axle configuration found on many Subaru models.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper is engineered with precision attributes to meet OEM standards. The inlet thread diameter is M10x1.0, compatible with banjo-type open fittings, facilitating secure hydraulic connections. The bleeder screw also features an M10x1.0 thread and is included for proper brake fluid bleeding during installation. The caliper’s gray finish provides corrosion resistance, while the included mounting bracket and abutment clips ensure proper alignment and secure fitment. Note that this caliper does not include brake pads, pad wear sensors, or mounting hardware bolts, which should be sourced separately if needed.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on compatible Subaru models
• Restores proper brake pressure and pedal feel
• Addresses brake fluid leaks or piston seizure issues
• Improves braking consistency and safety on the trailing axle
• Supports maintenance of brake system integrity during routine service

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your specific Subaru model before installation. The caliper requires a mounting bracket, which is included, but mounting bolts are not supplied. Proper brake fluid bleeding using the included bleeder screw is essential to avoid air in the brake lines. Since brake pads and pad wear sensors are not included, verify pad condition and sensor requirements prior to installation. Use appropriate tools for the M10x1.0 inlet and bleeder screw threads to prevent damage.
