Abstract

A disk brake, especially for a commercial vehicle, comprising a brake caliper (2) which is fixed on a brake carrier (3) of the commercial vehicle by means of two fixing elements such that it is axially displaceable in relation to the disk brake (1) whereby one fixing element is embodied as a fixed bearing (4) and the other fixing element is embodied as a loose bearing (5) with a sliding bushing (6) inserted into a bore of the brake caliper (2), whereby the inner or outer contour thereof deviates from that of a circle, whereby a guide bar (8), having for example a round cross-section, is guided in the sliding bushing (6). The sliding bushing (6) of the loose bearing (5) is provided with at least one securing element (10) which, when the sliding bushing (6) is mounted in a precise position, fixes the sliding bushing and is inserted into a recess (11) of the bore.
