Abstract
This invention relates to an improved brake shoe assembly and a disc brake assembly including such a brake shoe assembly. The disc brake assembly includes an anchor bracket adapted to be secured to a vehicle component; a brake caliper adapted to be secured to the anchor bracket; an inboard brake shoe and an outboard brake shoe carried by the disc brake assembly and adapted to be disposed on opposite axial sides of an associated brake rotor, each of the brake shoes including a pair of opposed ends; actuation means for selectively moving the shoes into frictional engagement with the rotor; and a first clip carried by at least one of the opposed ends of one of the brake shoes to thereby urge the one of the brake shoes against a trailing end of the anchor bracket to prevent caliper rotation when the disc brake assembly is actuated.
