ABSTRACT:
An assembly designed to eliminate or attenuate undesirable noises generated by conventional disc brake assemblies when the mounting members for such assemblies become worn with usage. A bias member under compression is disposed in sandwiched relation between a pair of retainer members, one of which is fixedly secured to the fork portion of a motorcycle, and the other of which is fixedly secured to the housing for the braking unit. Thus, the bias member urges such caliper forwardly at all times. Such forward pressure causes the brake caliper mounting pins to seat firmly against the bore formed by the pin guides which are a part of the bracket upon which the caliper is mounted. Although the diameter of such bore will continue to increase attendant operation of the motorcycle, the operation of the compressed bias member will continually accommodate the increased tolerances between the bore and the caliper mounting pins.
