Details on Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line is designed to provide a balance between ease of installation and component completeness. This semi-loaded caliper includes essential hardware such as bleeder screws and abutment clips but excludes mounting brackets and brake pads, allowing for flexibility in brake system upgrades or repairs. The cast iron construction ensures durability under demanding driving conditions, while the phenolic piston helps minimize heat transfer to the brake fluid, reducing the risk of vapor lock. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment with the rotor, promoting even pad wear and consistent braking performance.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a 42mm piston diameter and a 0.438-inch (7/16"-20) inlet thread diameter with a banjo fitting type. The bleeder screw thread size is 3/8"-24, and the caliper comes with a bleeder screw included for ease of maintenance. The gray finish and casting number 4203 identify the caliper's manufacturing details. Abutment clips are included to secure the brake pads properly, although mounting hardware and pads are not part of this assembly. The caliper is designed to operate without a mounting bracket, simplifying installation on compatible Chrysler and Dodge minivans.
