Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper features a cast iron body that provides durability and heat dissipation essential for braking systems. The floating caliper design allows for smooth pad engagement and even wear. It includes a single steel piston with a diameter of 40 mm (1.575 inches), which applies pressure to the brake pads efficiently. The caliper comes with abutment clips and a bleeder screw (3/8"-24 thread size) to facilitate proper brake fluid bleeding and pad alignment. The inlet fitting uses a banjo type connection with a 3/8"-24 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. Note that this semi-loaded caliper does not include brake pads, mounting hardware, or pad wear sensors, so these components must be sourced separately.

About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers product line offers a balance between fully loaded and basic caliper assemblies.

The 141.65522 model exemplifies this line by providing a durable cast iron caliper with a steel piston and necessary fittings for Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner vehicles.
