Abstract
A disc brake assembly includes a torque member which carries at least one pin for slidably supporting a caliper. The one pin threadably engages the torque member and extends on both sides of the disc. A pair of friction elements are engageable with the disc to retard rotation of the latter. On one side of the disc the one pin slidably engages the caliper, while on the other side of the disc the one pin slidably engages one of the pair of friction elements. The one pin is spaced from the caliper on the other side of the disc where the one pin engages one of the pair of friction elements. The one pin cooperates with a resilient bushing on the caliper to form a sliding connection therebetween and also cooperates with a resilient bushing on the one friction element to form a sliding connection therebetween. An optional thermoplastic sleeve may be disposed between the resilient bushing on the caliper and the one pin.
