ABSTRACT:
A disc brake assembly that includes a mounting bracket formed with an attachment face for engagement with the corresponding attachment face of a stationary support bracket and fixed to the stationary support bracket by way of a fastening bolt, is provided with a damping element to reduce brake squeal caused by compound vibration acting on the mounting bracket during braking operation. The damping element is positioned between the attachment faces of the mounting bracket and the stationary support bracket. The damping element can take various forms including a metallic washer covered on opposite faces with rubber members, or an annular rubber element having metallic washers adhered to its opposite faces. The damping element can also be in the form of a shim plate in which rubber plates are secured to opposite faces, or a pair of shim plates secured to opposite faces of a rubber plate.
