BRAKE PAD WITH PREFORMED MULTI-LAYER FRICTION PAD AND SHIM

摘要

A method of assembling a brake pad includes impaling a first layer of a preformed multi-layer friction pad on piercing members of a rotor facing surface of a brake pad backing plate. A shim is concurrently assembled to a caliper facing surface of the backing plate.
