ABSTRACT:
A disc brake includes a rotor with friction surfaces, a caliper cooperating with a pair of friction elements to engage the friction elements with the rotor friction surfaces when a brake application is effected and a torque member supporting the caliper via a pin and elastomeric ring construction. The pin includes recesses for carrying elastomeric rings, which resiliently engage the caliper and the torque member to dispose the pin in spaced relation to the caliper and torque member. A groove in the pin forms an interference fit with a washer, which is releasably secured to the torque member, to limit the axial movement of the pin relative to the torque member. The elastomeric rings are deformable axially to permit axial movement of the caliper relative to the pin with only limited sliding of the caliper on the elastomeric rings and are deformable radially to permit the pin to engage the torque member and the caliper. The elastomeric rings remain engaged to the torque member and the caliper to prevent rattles between the caliper and the torque member.
