Abstract
A disc brake includes a caliper cooperating with a pair of friction elements to oppose rotation of a rotor during braking. A torque member supports the caliper and defines a tie bar reinforcing a pair of arms for the torque member. A connecting member extends between a caliper inner and outer leg and cooperates with the tie bar to oppose static caliper droop and dynamic caliper lift.
