About 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 essential components such as the mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, but excludes pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier customization and replacement of specific parts while maintaining quality and fitment standards for vehicles like the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ.

Detailed Product Description

This Centric disc brake caliper features a cast iron body for strength and heat resistance, paired with a single steel piston measuring 57 mm in diameter. The floating caliper design allows for smooth movement and even pad wear. The inlet fitting supports both banjo and open types with a 10 mm thread diameter, facilitating compatibility with various brake lines. Included mounting brackets and abutment clips ensure proper alignment and secure attachment to the vehicle’s brake system. The gray finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance.
