ABSTRACT:
A floating caliper disc brake system includes a caliper body housing a piston that presses a brake pad against a disc and a mount that slidably holds the caliper body in a direction perpendicular to the disc. The system further includes a slide pin that guides a sliding motion of the caliper body, which is connected to a pin securing portion provided for one side of the mount. A guide hole with which the slide pin is slidably engaged is formed in the other side of the mount. The slide pin is connected to the pin securing portion through an elastic bushing to decrease a slide pin guide clearance and substantially eliminate dragging.
