A universal friction lining support (32) is affixed on or just under the surface (34) of a friction lining (26) to resist wear and vibrations caused by the road, eliminating the need for a backing plate. The support is configured to fit in the corners (36) of friction linings of various lining assembly sizes. Extensions (44) on the exterior edge (46) of the support locate the friction lining relative to the caliper housing (12) as the piston is engaged. Various attachment features, such as holes or protrusions, can be also added to the support to secure the support to the friction lining. <IMAGE> |
