Centric Parts 142.40045 Silent Load Posi Friction Caliper - Front Right

Centric Parts has always been my number one choice for quality car parts. My front left OEM Honda caliper got stuck and deformed my rotor. I decided it would be more profitable to buy a remanufactured caliper than to make one yourself. This listing is for the Front Right (142.40045) only, so be sure to purchase the Front Left (142.40046) Centric Parts 142.40046 Posi Quiet Loaded Friction Caliper Time for even brake wear. This caliper is basically a complete rebuild with all new seals, caliper pins and duster. There is also a new exhaust valve attached to it, but you have to use the old caliper bolts to connect it to the rotor. My pins weren't lubricated, so be sure to use 3M Clear Silicone Paste, as other lubes (br (like pad grease) will swell rubber boots and prevent the pins from moving freely, causing uneven wear on the rotor and pads. The caliper bore and their brake pads are brand new and will expand evenly the only downside to these calipers is that they were painted a slightly gold metallic that was already starting to peel off, although it was a poor paint job it looked better than the rusty calipers, I've had I'm sure most people have .I don't care in the end.
