Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.61557 is designed to meet the specific hydraulic and mechanical requirements of Ford Explorer, Flex, MKT, and Lincoln Taurus vehicles. The floating caliper design allows for smooth piston movement and even pad wear. Constructed from cast iron, the caliper provides the necessary rigidity and heat dissipation for consistent braking performance. The single piston measures 45 mm in diameter and is made of steel, ensuring durability under repeated braking cycles.

The caliper comes semi-loaded, meaning it includes the mounting bracket and abutment clips but does not include brake pads or mounting hardware bolts. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with an M10x1.0 thread, compatible with standard brake lines. A bleeder screw with matching thread size is included to facilitate proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance.
