Centric Posi-Quiet Loaded Disc Brake Calipers Product Line

The Centric Posi-Quiet Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line focuses on delivering quiet, smooth braking with reduced noise and vibration. These calipers come pre-assembled with high-quality pads and hardware (where applicable) to simplify installation and ensure consistent performance. The 142.66044 model exemplifies this approach by combining durable aluminum construction with phenolic pistons to reduce heat transfer and improve brake feel.

Detailed Product Description

This disc brake caliper is a floating type designed for front axle use on various GM full-size trucks and SUVs. The aluminum casting reduces unsprung weight, contributing to better vehicle handling. It features two phenolic pistons, which help minimize heat absorption and prevent brake fluid boiling under heavy braking conditions. The caliper includes a bleeder screw with a 10mm thread diameter and a banjo-style inlet fitting for secure hydraulic line connection. The mounting bracket is included, but mounting hardware is not, so ensure you have the necessary bolts for installation. The caliper is remanufactured by PBR to meet or exceed OEM standards, providing a reliable replacement option.
