Detailed Product Description

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line is engineered to provide a semi-assembled solution that simplifies brake system repairs. This particular caliper, part number 141.79101, features a cast iron body that withstands high temperatures and mechanical stress. The two aluminum pistons, each measuring 2.5 inches in diameter, deliver even pressure distribution for effective braking. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment during braking, reducing uneven pad wear and improving overall brake performance.

This caliper includes essential components such as the bleeder screw (7/16"-24 thread size) and abutment clips, facilitating easier brake fluid bleeding and pad installation. However, mounting hardware and brake pads are not included, so ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s existing components. The gray finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on compatible vehicles
