About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line provides semi-assembled calipers that include essential components such as abutment clips and bleeder screws, but exclude pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier installation and customization while maintaining high manufacturing standards. The 141.61517 caliper is part of this line, offering a balance between ready-to-install convenience and flexibility for professional brake servicing.

Product Details and Specifications

This disc brake caliper features a cast iron body for durability and heat resistance, suitable for the braking demands of full-size sedans like the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car. The floating caliper design uses a single phenolic piston measuring 48 mm (1.89 inches) in diameter, which helps reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid. The inlet thread size is M10x1.5 with a banjo-type open fitting, and the bleeder screw thread size is 3/8"-24, included for proper brake bleeding. Abutment clips are included to ensure proper pad alignment, though mounting hardware and brake pads are not part of this assembly.
