ABSTRACT:
A slide pin bushing for use in a vehicle disc brake caliper assembly adapted to selectively frictionally engage a rotor connected to a vehicle wheel includes an anchor plate adapted to be secured to a stationary component of the vehicle, and a caliper secured to the anchor plate for sliding movement relative thereto. A pair of brake pads are carried by the disc brake caliper assembly, and an actuation system is provided for selectively moving the brake pads axially toward and away from one another so as to selectively frictionally engage the rotor. An elastomeric slide pin bushing is disposed in a non-threaded opening formed in the caliper. The slide pin bushing includes a pair of opposed ends and an intermediate body section. The intermediate body section of the slide pin bushing is provided with a cylindrical inner surface having a generally roughened textured surface finish. A generally rigid sleeve is disposed within the slide pin bushing. The sleeve includes an outer surface which engages the roughened or textured surface finish of the cylindrical inner surface of the slide pin bushing. A pin extends through the sleeve to secure the caliper to the anchor plate for sliding movement relative thereto.
