Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.70002 features a cast iron body that withstands high temperatures and mechanical stress typical in braking systems. The floating caliper type allows the caliper to move laterally, ensuring even pressure distribution across the brake pads. Equipped with two phenolic pistons measuring 66mm in diameter, this caliper reduces heat transfer to the brake fluid, minimizing the risk of vapor lock and improving overall brake system reliability.

The caliper includes abutment clips and a bleeder screw with a 7/16"-24 thread size, facilitating proper brake fluid bleeding and pad alignment. While mounting hardware and brake pads are not included, the semi-loaded design means the caliper comes with essential pad hardware to simplify installation. The gray finish provides corrosion resistance and aids in visual inspection during maintenance.
