Abstract
The invention relates to a friction pad for a disc brake and a disc brake assembly in which the friction pads are slidably supported by tabs extending radially outward of the friction pad backing plates on spaced axially extending, stepped edges of an aperture provided to the disc brake caliper. The friction pad tabs include support surfaces or shoulders which are non-symmetrical and permit the tabs to be assembled only when properly oriented.
