Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.51649 is engineered to meet the braking requirements of Hyundai Optima and Kia Sonata vehicles. The floating caliper design allows for smooth piston movement and even pad wear. Constructed from aluminum, the caliper casting reduces unsprung weight while maintaining strength and corrosion resistance. The single phenolic piston with a 34 mm bore diameter provides effective hydraulic pressure transfer for consistent braking force.

The caliper comes semi-loaded, including the mounting bracket and abutment clips, but does not include brake pads or mounting hardware. The bleeder screw and inlet fitting both feature M10x1.0 thread sizes, compatible with standard brake lines and bleeding tools. The gray finish offers a neutral appearance suitable for most brake assemblies.
