Product Line Details: Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line provides semi-assembled calipers that include key components such as abutment clips and bleeder screws, but exclude pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier installation and maintenance while ensuring compatibility with original equipment specifications. The 141.65009 model exemplifies this line by offering a cast iron floating caliper with a phenolic piston, designed to meet the braking demands of specific Ford and Mazda trucks and SUVs.

Technical Description and Features

This disc brake caliper features a durable cast iron body that withstands high temperatures and mechanical stress. The single 66mm phenolic piston reduces heat transfer to the brake fluid, helping to prevent vapor lock and maintain braking efficiency. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment during braking, improving pad wear and performance. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with a 3/8"-24 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. Included abutment clips help secure the brake pads, while the bleeder screw (7/16"-20 thread) facilitates proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on compatible Ford and Mazda models
• Addresses uneven brake pad wear due to caliper misalignment
• Resolves brake fluid leakage from faulty caliper seals or bleeder screws
• Improves braking response by restoring proper piston movement
• Suitable for vehicles experiencing reduced braking efficiency or noise from caliper issues

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure compatibility with your specific Ford or Mazda model before installation
• Brake pads and mounting hardware are not included and must be sourced separately
• Use proper torque specifications for mounting bolts and inlet fittings
• Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air
• Inspect brake lines and related components for wear or damage during installation
