Review on Centric 141 61091 Loaded Friction Caliper by Nick Garrett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice caliper

Mounted on the right front wheel of my 2001 Ford Taurus station wagon. It fits well, looks solid and is well protected from rust. The only problem with installation was that the rubber cover around the piston was a little twisted. I had to stretch out my fingers and a plastic spatula to get it right. I also replaced the brake hose which was found to be clogged in both directions on impact testing. (I might not even need a caliper, but given the age of the car, I wouldn't mind replacing it.) Then, when I went to bleed, I found that the brake fluid flowed around the booster every time the pedal was pressed. It turned out that the brake line from the right front wheel was leaking. Called a mechanic in the neighborhood to replace the line. The brakes seem to be working now. Updated when a caliper fails.

Pros
