About 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 mounting brackets, facilitating easier installation. This product line focuses on delivering reliable braking components with cast iron construction and phenolic pistons to reduce heat transfer and improve brake system longevity.

Product Details and Specifications

This Centric disc brake caliper features a durable cast iron body designed to withstand the rigors of braking stress. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment during braking, improving pad wear and braking efficiency. Equipped with two phenolic pistons measuring 60 mm in diameter, the caliper reduces heat absorption, which helps maintain brake fluid integrity and prevents caliper corrosion. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with a 3/8"-24 thread size, compatible with standard brake lines. The included bleeder screw also features a 3/8"-24 thread, allowing for proper brake fluid bleeding during maintenance. The gray finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. This caliper is designed for trailing axle applications and includes abutment clips and a mounting bracket for secure installation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged floating disc brake calipers
• Restores proper brake pad alignment and reduces uneven pad wear
• Addresses brake fluid leakage issues with included bleeder screw
• Improves braking performance on trailing axle setups
• Suitable for vehicles requiring 60 mm piston diameter calipers with banjo inlet fittings

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s brake system by verifying piston diameter and inlet thread size. This caliper does not include brake pads or pad wear sensors, so these components must be sourced separately. Properly torque mounting bolts and verify the bleeder screw is securely installed to prevent fluid leaks. Use compatible brake fluid and bleed the system thoroughly after installation to remove air and ensure optimal braking response.
