Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.61522 is part of the Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line, which provides semi-assembled calipers designed to simplify installation while maintaining OEM-level quality. The semi-loaded design means the caliper comes with essential components such as the mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, but does not include brake pads or mounting hardware, allowing for customization based on vehicle requirements.

The caliper features a durable cast iron body finished in gray, ensuring strength and corrosion resistance. It operates with a single steel piston measuring 45mm in diameter, providing consistent braking force. The floating caliper type allows for even pad wear and smooth operation. The inlet fitting supports both banjo and open types with a 10mm (M10x1.5) thread size, compatible with standard brake lines. The included bleeder screw with M10x1.0 thread size facilitates proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance.
