Details on 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 the caliper body, pistons, seals, mounting bracket, and abutment clips. This semi-loaded design allows for easier installation and maintenance while requiring separate purchase of brake pads and mounting hardware. The 141.65042 caliper is a floating type, meaning it moves laterally to apply even pressure on the brake pads. Its cast iron construction ensures durability under high heat and stress conditions typical in braking systems. The phenolic pistons reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid, helping to maintain consistent braking performance.
