Abstract
A fastener assembly is provided for helping to secure a mounting bracket to a housing of a vehicle caliper assembly having a piston axially movable for applying braking force to a brake pad. The fastener assembly includes a guide device including guide pin secured to the housing and having a head and a shaft extending into a bore in the mounting bracket. A sleeve includes a first portion configured to extend into the bore and a second portion provided inside the first portion and encircling and engaging the shaft for damping relative movement between the guide pin and the bore in response to vehicle vibrations. A flexible seal encircles the shaft and is connected to the guide pin and the sleeve such that axial movement of the guide pin relative to the bore changes the length of the seal.
