Centric Posi-Quiet Loaded Disc Brake Calipers Product Line

The Centric Posi-Quiet Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line focuses on delivering remanufactured calipers that come pre-assembled with high-quality brake pads. This reduces installation time and ensures consistent braking performance. The 142.63023 model benefits from this approach by providing a ready-to-install solution specifically engineered for front axle leading positions on compatible Chrysler and Dodge minivans.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a single phenolic piston with a diameter of 2.520 inches (64 mm bore size), which helps reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid. The caliper is constructed from durable cast iron, ensuring structural integrity and longevity. It uses a floating caliper design, which allows for self-alignment during braking. The inlet thread size is 7/16"-20 with a banjo fitting type, and the bleeder screw thread size is 3/8"-24, included for ease of maintenance. The caliper casting numbers 13473001 and 34731 identify the specific remanufactured core used in this assembly.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or leaking front disc brake calipers on Chrysler Caravan, Grand Caravan, Town & Country, and Dodge Voyager
• Addresses brake pad wear by including new friction material pads
• Solves issues related to piston corrosion or sticking with a phenolic piston design
• Improves braking consistency by using a remanufactured caliper with verified specifications
• Helps restore proper brake fluid sealing and pressure with included bleeder screw and seals (kit 143.63026 available separately)

Installation Notes and Tips

This caliper requires a mounting bracket, which is included, but mounting hardware is not provided and must be sourced separately (hardware kit 117.68001 recommended). Ensure the brake system is properly bled after installation using the included bleeder screw. Verify inlet thread compatibility (7/16"-20) and banjo fitting type before installation. Always inspect brake lines and pads for wear or damage during replacement.
