ABSTRACT:
A resilient guide for the brake housing of a floating caliper spot-type disc brake for automotive vehicles in which the brake carrier is integrated into the steering knuckle. A resilient spring for a brake housing (1) of a floating caliper spot-type disc brake with a brake carrier integrated into the steering knuckle is provided.The spring arrangement comprises at least one spring (2, 7) secured to the brake housing (1) at predetermined points (A, B). The spring (2, 7) in its unloaded condition, is premounted on brake housing (1) and after assembly of the brake housing (1) is loaded on the manufacturing belt to preload the brake housing (1) against the brake carrier arms (6). Loading of the spring (2) is effected such that the center is moved toward the wheel axle, and is fixed to projections (4) of the brake housing (1) and is then supported, with extensions (5), to arms (6) of the brake carrier. The entire mounting operation advantageously can be performed by an industrial robot.
