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

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a balance between fully loaded and core-only calipers by including essential components such as bleeder screws and abutment clips, while excluding pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier installation and maintenance on compatible Ford models, including the Bronco and F-150, while providing a durable cast iron caliper body and phenolic piston for effective heat management and corrosion resistance.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a single phenolic piston measuring 2.874 inches (73 mm) in diameter, which helps reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid, minimizing the risk of vapor lock. The caliper is a floating type, allowing it to self-adjust during braking for even pad wear. The inlet thread diameter and bleeder screw thread size are both 3/8"-24, compatible with standard brake hydraulic fittings. The caliper includes a bleeder screw and abutment clips but does not come with mounting hardware or brake pads, allowing for customization based on vehicle requirements.
