ABSTRACT:
A disc brake assembly for a motor vehicle includes a rotor, a bracket, a pair of brake pads slidably supported by the bracket for movement along a reference axis, and a caliper, also slidably supported by the bracket for movement along the reference axis, bridging the rotor periphery and operative to urge each brake pad into engagement with a respective friction surface of the rotor. A spring clip on the caliper includes a first pair of arms, each resiliently engaging a respective radially-disposed surface on the bracket to thereby releasably secure the spring clip to the caliper. The spring clip also includes a second pair of arms, each resiliently engaging a respective axially-disposed surface on the bracket to urge the outboard portion of the caliper along the reference axis away from the outboard friction surface of the rotor.
