Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.62122 is designed to meet the specific hydraulic and mechanical requirements of various GM vehicles, including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models. The floating caliper design with a single 63.5 mm steel piston ensures consistent brake pad engagement and smooth operation. Constructed from cast iron, the caliper offers durability and resistance to heat generated during braking. The caliper comes semi-loaded, meaning it includes the mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, but does not include brake pads or mounting hardware bolts. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with an M10x1.5 thread diameter, compatible with factory brake lines. The gray finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance under the wheel.

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers product line focuses on providing semi-assembled calipers that simplify installation while maintaining OEM specifications. This line is ideal for technicians and DIYers who want a reliable replacement caliper that includes critical components like brackets and bleeder screws but allows for reuse of existing brake pads and hardware when appropriate.
