ABSTRACT:
A disc brake for an automotive vehicle is disclosed. The brake includes a unique floating connection between the caliper and the steering knuckle of the vehicle which includes a sleeve which extends through an aperture in the caliper and a bolt which extends through the sleeve to fasten the latter to the steering knuckle. A tongue-in-groove connection is provided between the caliper and the steering knuckle to prevent rotation of the caliper about the sleeve. This design provides a brake which may be manufactured at lower cost than some prior art brakes, because the brake is designed so that manufacturing tolerances are less critical.
