An improved structure for a brake shoe hold down clip adapted for use in a disc brake assembly includes a caliper provided with at least one recess formed therein. A piston is slidably disposed in the recess, and a pair of brake shoes are carried by the disc brake assembly and disposed on opposite axial sides of an associated rotor. Each of said brake shoes includes a backing plate and a friction pad. An actuation system is carried by the caliper for selectively moving the brake shoes between a non-braking position, wherein each of the friction pads is spaced apart from the adjacent side of the rotor, and a braking position, wherein said each of the friction pads frictionally engages the adjacent side of the rotor. The brake shoe hold down clip includes a central mounting portion and a pair of end arms extending generally parallel to the central mounting portion from opposite sides thereof. The end arms are connected to the central mounting portion by a pair of spaced apart arms extending generally perpendicular relative thereto. The central mounting portion includes a first end slidably disposed in an opening provided on a portion of the caliper, and a second opposite end having an aperture formed therein for receiving a fastener to releasably secure the brake shoe hold down clip to the caliper whereby the end arms of the brake shoe hold down clip are operative to engage the backing plates of the brake shoes to prevent radial movement of the brake shoes.
