Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.65068 features a cast iron construction that provides durability and effective heat dissipation during braking. The floating caliper design allows for smooth movement and even pad wear. It includes a single steel piston with a diameter of 66mm (2.598 inches), which applies pressure to the brake pads for reliable stopping power. The caliper comes with a mounting bracket and abutment clips, ensuring proper alignment and fitment on the axle's leading side. The bleeder screw, sized 3/8"-24, is included to facilitate brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance.

The caliper does not include brake pads, pad wear sensors, or mounting hardware bolts, so these components must be sourced separately. The inlet thread size is M10x1.0, compatible with standard brake lines for the specified vehicle models. The gray finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance.
