A caliper guide assembly comprising:
- a guide pin having a cavity at a free end thereof;
- a guide bore arranged to receive the guide pin and permit relative axial sliding thereof;
- a cap secured to an open end of the guide bore that is proximate the free end of the guide pin;
- and
- a sensor arrangement including a first sensor component radially spaced from a second sensor component, the first sensor component secured to the guide pin such that the first sensor component is at least partially located within the cavity, the second sensor component secured to the cap such that the second sensor component is located within the guide bore and is axially spaced from the open end of the guide bore, wherein the sensor arrangement is configured to provide an output indicative of a relative axial displacement between the first sensor component and the second sensor component.
