ABSTRACT:
A vehicle disc brake caliper assembly which includes an improved structure for supporting a caliper relative to an associated anchor plate. The disc brake caliper assembly includes an anchor plate including first and second spaced apart guide rails, and a caliper slidably supported on pins secured to the anchor plate. A pair of friction pads are carried by the guide rails and are adapted to be disposed on opposite axial sides of an associated rotor. The friction pads define a pair of notched first ends and a pair of notched second ends. An actuator is carried by the caliper for selectively moving the friction pads into frictional engagement with the rotor. The caliper is provided with a lift stop which is located above each of the guide rails and which functions to provide additional support for the caliper relative to the anchor plate. A separate clip is supported on each of the guide rails and receives the associated caliper lift stop to prevent rattling of the caliper lift stop against the associated guide rail. The clip also receives and prevents rattling of the adjacent notched ends of the friction pads.
