ABSTRACT:
A disc brake assembly has a floating caliper interposed between two arms of a torque member. The caliper is mounted between the arms by two pin assemblies. Each pin assembly includes a radially compressible cylindrical sleeve substantially filled with elastomeric material and installed within an aperture formed by opposing slots within each of the torque member arms and caliper. The pin assembly has a first resilient rate when contracting from an unflexed position to a radially contracted second position which allows it to be fitted through the aperture. The pin assembly has a higher resilient rate when contracting from the second position to a further contracted third position.
