Abstract
A disc brake for an automotive vehicle having a caliper slidably supported by at least one pin on a stationary supporting member secured to a non-rotatable portion of the vehicle is disclosed. An elastomeric bushing is disposed within a receiving bore through the caliper and contains a low friction bearing slidably receiving the caliper supporting pin therein. Seal means are provided at either end of the bushing to prevent the passage of dirt and other contaminants to the low friction bearing.
