About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a balance between fully loaded and basic caliper assemblies. This semi-loaded design includes essential hardware such as mounting brackets and abutment clips, but excludes brake pads and pad wear sensors, allowing for customization based on vehicle needs. The 141.65090 caliper features cast iron construction and phenolic pistons, providing durability and improved heat dissipation for consistent braking performance on compatible Ford and Lincoln models.

Technical Details and Features

This floating disc brake caliper is constructed from cast iron, ensuring structural integrity under high braking loads. It features two phenolic pistons, each measuring 1.87 inches in diameter, which help reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid, minimizing the risk of vapor lock. The caliper includes a banjo-type inlet fitting with a 3/8"-24 thread size for secure hydraulic connection. The bleeder screw, with an M10-1.00 thread size, is included to facilitate proper brake system bleeding. The gray finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Mounting hardware such as the bracket and abutment clips are included, but brake pads and pad wear sensors are not part of this assembly.
