Centric Posi-Quiet Loaded Disc Brake Calipers Product Line

The Centric Posi-Quiet Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line focuses on delivering remanufactured calipers that meet or exceed OEM specifications. These calipers come pre-assembled with pads and mounting brackets to simplify installation and reduce downtime. The use of phenolic pistons helps reduce heat transfer, contributing to longer pad life and consistent braking performance under heavy loads.

Detailed Product Description

This Centric disc brake caliper features a durable cast iron body designed for rear axle leading applications. It includes two phenolic pistons, each measuring approximately 2.362 inches in diameter, which provide reliable hydraulic pressure for effective braking. The caliper is a floating type, allowing for self-alignment during braking to ensure even pad wear. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with a 10mm thread diameter (M10-1.50), and the bleeder screw is included with the same thread size for easy maintenance. The caliper comes with brake pads that meet Friction Materials Standards Institute (FMSI) pad number 10x.09090, ensuring compatibility and performance. Mounting hardware is not included, but the mounting bracket is provided to facilitate proper installation.
