About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

This semi-loaded caliper includes the mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, but does not come with pads or mounting hardware. This configuration allows for easier installation and maintenance while ensuring compatibility with factory brake pads and hardware. The 141.48109 model is part of this line, offering a cast iron floating caliper design optimized for mid-range brake system repairs.

Detailed Product Description

This Centric disc brake caliper features a single 48 mm steel piston housed in a durable cast iron body, designed to withstand the rigors of daily driving and braking demands. 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 size, facilitating compatibility with original brake lines. Included abutment clips and mounting bracket simplify installation, while the gray finish provides corrosion resistance. The caliper does not include brake pads or mounting hardware, allowing users to reuse existing components or select aftermarket options that meet the Friction Materials Standards Institute pad number 10x.04180.
