<p>A disc brake includes a caliper which receives two friction elements. Opposed edges of a friction element and the caliper respectively define a gap therebetween. A noise reducing spring of the brake includes a pair of resilient opposed arms. The resilient arms of the spring fit into the gap and cooperate with the gap-defining edges to reduce brake noise. A mounting pin carried by the caliper supports the friction elements therein. An aperture defined by the spring receives the mounting pin so that the spring is pivotally mounted relative to the caliper and friction elements. Upon installation, the spring is placed in its inoperative position with its resilient arms disposed away from the gap. After the friction elements and mounting pins are in place, the spring is pivoted into place and a tab of the spring snaps into a recess of the caliper to lock the spring in its operative position.</p> |
