Disc brake assembly

A disc brake assembly comprising a torque member secured to a nonrotatable portion of a vehicle, a caliper assembly movably disposed relative to the disc by means of at least one pin assembly connecting the caliper assembly to the torque member, a pair of friction elements cooperating with the caliper assembly during braking to engage the disc to retard rotation of the latter, and the pin assembly including a bolt threadably coupled to the torque member and extending through an opening in the caliper assembly, a resilient bushing engaged to the caliper assembly and extending through the caliper assembly opening, and a sleeve disposed between the resilient bushing and the bolt, characterized by said sleeve cooperating with said bolt to define a predetermined axial clearance therebetween, said predetermined axial clearance providing for said sleeve to move with said caliper assembly and said resilient bushing initially during braking, said resilient bushing moving relative to said sleeve after said predetermined axial clearance is taken up between said sleeve and bolt during braking in order to define an adjusted position for said resilient bushing and caliper assembly relative to said sleeve in response to wear of said friction elements, and said pin assembly further including a resilient member extending between said sleeve and said bolt to bias said sleeve to a position maintaining said predetermined axial clearance between said sleeve and said bolt.
