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

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers semi-assembled calipers that include key components such as bleeder screws and abutment clips, but exclude pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier installation and maintenance while ensuring compatibility with original equipment specifications. The 141.65010 caliper benefits from this semi-loaded design, providing a balance between convenience and customization for professional repairs on Ford and Mazda trucks and SUVs.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a cast iron body that withstands high temperatures and mechanical stress. The single phenolic piston, measuring approximately 66mm in diameter, reduces heat transfer to the brake fluid, helping to prevent vapor lock. The floating caliper design with a trailing axle setup ensures even pad wear and smooth braking response. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with a 3/8"-24 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. Included bleeder screws (7/16"-20 thread) facilitate proper brake system bleeding during installation or maintenance. Abutment clips are also included to secure brake pads and reduce noise.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on compatible Ford and Mazda models
• Addresses uneven brake pad wear caused by faulty caliper operation
• Resolves brake fluid leaks from damaged or corroded caliper bodies

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure compatibility with your specific Ford or Mazda model before installation
• Use proper brake fluid and bleed the system thoroughly after caliper replacement
• Note that mounting hardware and brake pads are not included and must be sourced separately
